Which outcome regarding soil composition arises where widespread terracing occurs without proper drainage provisions?

💡 Explanation

Increased soil salinity occurs because water accumulates within a terrace rather than draining away freely by gravity, increasing upwell caused by capillary action leading to increased deposit of salt. Therefore, salinity occurs, rather than other listed events which need water runoff.
