Answer 1

The correct option is A

i, ii, v

Deforestation has its impact on various things. It causes decreased habitat for animals, destruction of food source of birds and animals, increased levels of ${CO}_2$ because plants absorb ${CO}_2$ for photosynthesis. Trees keep the surrounding environment cooler and thus deforestation causes increased temperature. The increased level of ${CO}_2$ and temperature, in turn, cause global warming.
