Explanation:

Over - irrigation causes waterlogging. As water evaporates from the soil surface, salts that were dissolved in the water are left behind and accumulate near the soil surface, which is known as salinization. This can harm plants and degrade soil quality. Organic matter amount is not directly reduced by over - irrigation. Over - irrigation doesn't directly increase soil acidity and removing water from the water table is not the main way over - irrigation damages soil.

Answer:

B. It results in the accumulation of salt near the soil surface.
