Explanation:

Desertification is the degradation of land in arid, semi - arid, and dry sub - humid areas. Overgrazing by livestock removes vegetation cover. Without vegetation, the soil is more vulnerable to wind and water erosion, which can lead to the loss of fertile top - soil and eventually desertification of rangelands. The other options are practices that help in land conservation rather than causing desertification.

Answer:

overgrazing of livestock leading to wind and water erosion
