Explanation

Soil conservation is the protection of soil from depletion or erosion. Option C correctly states this - soil is protected against loss or damage. Option A (aeration) is a soil management practice, not conservation. Option B (allowing erosion) is the opposite of conservation. Option D describes soil reclamation, not conservation.
