Answer:

B

Overgrazing and poor farming techniques can also lead to soil erosion, but it is important to remember that not all causes are human; climate and natural soil quality are also important factors to consider in tropical and mountainous regions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Be would be the correct answer because Choice D sounds like another fact or another sentence in a passage. It doesn't sound like a sentence to explain or support the passage. Also Choice A sounds like that too.

Choice C could sound like it too though because when they have details that could really help and support it.
