is this correct?
Apologies for the confusion. It seems that I misunderstood your question.
The correct answer would be:
B. lack of rain
Desertification refers to the process of land becoming increasingly arid and turning into desert-like conditions. Lack of rain is one of the main factors contributing to desertification. Civil wars and conflicts, as well as an excessive number of cattle, can lead to environmental degradation and further exacerbate desertification. Similarly, the need for more food, if not managed sustainably, can lead to overexploitation of land resources and contribute to desertification.
