Solution

The correct option is B

False


Deforestation means cutting down the trees for obtaining a clear land. For example, trees are cut for constructing dams for hydroelectric power plants. One of the major consequence of deforestation is loss of biodiversity. It also increases greenhouse gas emissions, disrupts the water cycle, increases soil erosion and decreases the natural beauty of an area.
