Correct option is D

The environmental problems associated with soils include:
· (A) Nutrient leaching: The process where essential soil nutrients are washed away by water.
· (B) Metal contamination: Soils can become contaminated with metals like lead or mercury, often due to industrial pollution.
· (C) Salinity and Alkalinity: An excess of salts or alkaline substances in the soil, affecting soil fertility.
