Which one best explains how the process of irrigation can lead to salinization of soils?

Irrigation is primarily accomplished through the use of abundant sea watre, which contains high concentrations of salts

Water associated with irrigation contains small amounts of dissolved salts. Evaporation leaves behind increasing concentrations of these salts.

Water associated with irrigation flows uphill. The salts that were in the soil uphill end up being brought to the lower elevations.

Irrigation water is treated with dissolve salts to promote plant growth. Over time the plants become saturated with salts and do not need this macronutrient.
