Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Forests perform a regulative function in maintaining $C O_{2} / O_{2}$ balance in atmosphere as $C O_{2}$ is used and $O_{2}$ is released during photosynthesis. Due to deforestation, this balance gets disturbed and $C O_{2}$ level rises in the atmosphere. The stored carbon is also released
into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas. Increased $C O_{2}$ level leads to the green-house effect, which ultimately causes global warming. Thus the correct answer is option A.
