• B. Prevention of soil erosion and flood
• C. Pollution free environment
• D. All of the above
  

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Forests are a home to a variety of plant and animal species. They form an important component of the water cycle. Hence they maintain the ecological balance.

Roots of trees hold the soil and prevent soil erosion. Their roots also absorb the water and prevent flooding.

Trees absorb carbon dioxide and harmful gasses like sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc. from the air and release oxygen thereby making the air pollution free.

Thus the correct answer is option D.
