Answer:

The correct order for the process of water eroding soil is A.

1. Sheet erosion: Water will remove a thin layer of soil from the soil surface.

2. Rill erosion: Running water forms small channels in the soil.

3. Gully erosion: Running water moving on the rills concentrate to form larger channels.
