Detailed Solution

All the dried leaves that slowly decompose and mingle with the soil help it to become fertile. The best buddies of the soil are the earthworms. As they continue to dig beneath the surface to create tunnels, the earthworms soften the soil. In this manner, the soil is easily able to absorb air and water. Additionally, the earthworms consume dead plants and leaves, and their excrement fertilizes the soil.

Therefore, The correct answer is option (D)
