The mosses prevent sheet erosion of soil. They grow in dense stands forming a mat or carpet like structure. This thick carpet serves to bind the soil particles together to a considerable depth so firmly, that there is no or little erosion even on a steepy hill side, while at the same time reducing the evaporation of water, making more available for succeeding plants.
Hence the correct option is D.
