AnswerAnswer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
The problem of leaching of the soil is more pronounced in the areas where the rainfall is heavy. Nitrate leaching is a side effect of high rainfall. Nitrate is one of the most critical nutrients in soil, and when heavy rain is actively pouring down and flooding the soil, the nitrate sinks deep down into the ground, otherwise called leaching.
