Solution

The correct options are
A Sunlight does not reach the ground
C Growth rate of understory becomes less
Canopy forms a roof like structure in the forest. It blocks 95% of the sunlight and do not let it reach the ground. The growth of understory gets hampered in the absence of sunlight. It reduces the amount of rain reaching the ground but doesn't stop it entirely.
