Hint:
Soil is made up of living fossils, particles of clay and rocks, found on the surface of the earth. It contributes to food, reduces the loss of biodiversity, and protects energy. Problems such as deforestation, bad agricultural practices and land pollution cause soil degradation and soil erosion.

Complete step by step solution:
The Soil Science Society of America and the American Society of Agronomy have invited the public to continue celebrating Earth Day on December 5 on an ongoing basis. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has used the hashtag, #WorldSoilDay, and the "Stop erosion, Save our future" campaign, with proposals for work done by students, farmers, teachers, NGOs and NGOs. A World Health Day event map is available online, as well as a list of World Day World campaigns, a poster with World Soil Day Activities from FAO, textbooks and a coloring book for kids. The University of Michigan Museum of Natural History celebrated World Day 2019 with handicrafts, with a panel discussion of soil scientists and local farmers. TreeHugger celebrated World Soil Day 2019 with an article explaining that soil is "the foundation of green building, building materials to reduce our carbon emissions in the past." Members of the public are urged to celebrate the day with efforts to reduce food waste, eat a variety of foods, manure, read labels on grass and garden products, and do soil tests.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.

Note:
World Day as a way to focus on the importance of healthy soil and to advocate for sustainable management of land resources. World Day of Soil Science was promoted by the International Union of Soil Sciences in 2002.
