• C. Depletion of wildlife
• D. All the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D

All the above

The correct option is D:

Explanation for the correct option:

1. Deforestation causes loss of vegetation which does not allow the land to grow trees causing desertification.
2. Deforestation makes the soil loose as the roots of trees hold the soil.
3. It also makes the land bare, so wind and rain easily wash or blow away the soil, causing soil erosion.
4. Forest is home to thousands of wildlife.
5. Destruction of soil destroys their natural habitat, so they die.
6. This, in turn, causes depletion of wildlife.

Final answer: An effect of deforestation is Desertification, Soil erosion, and Depletion of wildlife.
