Detailed Solution

The correct option for the above question is 2nd, as Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan are the states that are impacted by overgrazing. Overgrazing brings about expanded stomping on the soil by animals, which increments soil compaction (Fuls, 1992) and consequently diminishes the porousness of the soil. This impermeability expands spillover and soil disintegration. With the overutilization of land for touching, corruption is expanding. Overgrazing is one of the main reasons behind land debasement in many pieces of the country. Due to overgrazing by cows, the front of vegetation is nearly removed from the land. The soil becomes uncovered and gets dissolved by the activity of solid breeze and precipitation. When the grasses are eliminated, the soil becomes accessible and vulnerable to wind and water activity. Due to overgrazing, the land becomes open to disintegration. Different states which are impacted by overgrazing are Gujarat and Maharashtra.
