The correct answer is C.

The aim of the Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act from 1977 is to assess the conservation of soil and water resources on private lands.

It provides for the United States Department of Agriculture to estimate the status and trends of soil, waters and similar resources, as well as improve and protect them through the necessary programs and policies.
