Explanation:

This question is asking which of the following is not an effect of burning on the soil.

Burning can have various effects on the soil. It can increase the organic matter in the soil, increase the soil nutrients, increase the acidity of the soil, expose the soil to erosion, and sterilize the soil.

However, we are looking for the option that is not an effect of burning on the soil.
