Explanation:

Clearing land for farming removes vegetation. Vegetation helps with water - absorption and soil - binding. Without it, soil erosion can occur and water runoff increases, raising flood risks. Planting trees reduces flood risks by absorbing water and stabilizing soil. Soil management can improve water - holding capacity and reduce runoff. Widening rivers can increase their capacity to carry water, reducing flood risks.

Answer:

A. clearing land for farming
