How can change in land use affect drainage?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Runoff and infiltration can change

Land use determines how much rainwater reaches the ground, flows across the surface, or enters the soil. Vegetation and open soil usually allow more infiltration, while compacted ground, roads and buildings can increase surface runoff and reduce infiltration. Farming, urbanisation, deforestation and changes in drainage channels may therefore alter the speed, direction and volume of water movement. The result depends on local conditions.

Option A is correct because both runoff and infiltration can change when land use changes. Water does not always disappear, rivers do not always close, and rainfall itself does not stop merely because land is used differently. The question tests the link between land cover and drainage, not an absolute prediction for every place or season.
