The greatest agent of erosion is running water.

Water erodes land by rushing up and through the land. Depending on how violent the rushing water is, the land can erode at a fast rate.

The answer should be option A "running water." Running water is the same as moving water which is the largest contributor to erosion. Moving water is compaction on the rock. Example of moving water is like waves slamming on rocks near shore which breaks away the rock which is erosion.

Hope this helps!
