Option C is describing karstification, a geological process that creates underground drainage systems through the dissolution of limestone and other rocks. This is not related to soil erosion, which involves the detachment, transport, and deposition of soil particles by natural agents such as wind and water. Options A, B, and D are all correct definitions of soil erosion, and they address different aspects of the process (i.e., gradual loss, excessive or unsustainable loss, and imbalanced soil dynamics).
