Which consequence typically followed ancient terrace farming that lacked adequate drainage systems?

A)Accelerated soil nutrient depletion

B)Increased crop susceptibility to disease

C)Landslides due to hydrostatic pressure✓

D)Reduced biodiversity support potential

💡 Explanation

Landslides occurred due to hydrostatic pressure increasing within the terraced soil because inadequate drainage prevented water from escaping. Therefore, the added water culminated in slope destabilization, rather than other ecological disturbances without compromised structure.
