Answer:
C). “about two-thirds of agricultural land in Australia is suffering from degradation, which includes loss of nutrients" ( Paragraph 17)
Explanation:
The quotation that most aptly highlights the current health of the soil would be “about two-thirds of agricultural land in Australia is suffering from degradation, which includes loss of nutrients" from Paragraph 17 as it talks about the present condition of the soil('degradation causing lack of nutrients') in Australia. The first and second quotation talks about the way to create soil and the quality of the soil while the last option talks about the past event 'The American Dust Bowl.' Therefore, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
