Explanation

Soil erosion in India is caused by multiple human activities and natural factors. Deforestation (2) removes vegetation that holds soil, while overgrazing (4) destroys protective grass cover and compacts soil. Excessive rainfall (1) can accelerate erosion, and excessive cultivation (3) depletes soil structure. The combination of factors 2 and 4 represents major anthropogenic causes.
