The correct answer is

None of the above

Environmental degeneration (degradation) is the deterioration of the natural environment – land, water, forests, air and ecosystems – through natural causes and human activity.

Land degeneration and soil erosion reduce the productive capacity of land, so they are a form of environmental degeneration.

Over grazing destroys vegetation cover and leads to ecological degeneration, so it too is part of environmental degeneration.

Floods, often aggravated by deforestation and soil erosion, damage land, settlements and ecosystems and are counted among environmental problems.

Since all three listed items are components of environmental degeneration, none of them can be excluded.

Hence, the answer is None of the above.
