Correct Answer
A. Rains loosen the soil and heavy winds shake the trees violently.Explanation
During a storm, the combination of heavy rains and strong winds can cause trees to fall. The rain saturates the soil, making it loose and reducing its ability to hold the tree's roots firmly in place. At the same time, the strong winds exert a force on the trees, shaking them violently and further weakening their stability. This combination of factors makes it more likely for trees to fall during a storm compared to normal weather conditions. The statement about not using manures and the size of the trees is irrelevant to the explanation.Rate this question:
