Solution

The correct option is A Forests
The hydrological cycle is a water cycle that describes the storage and movement of water between the biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, and the hydrosphere. The effects of forests on weather, and particularly on rainfall, are generally viewed predominantly in terms of moisture recycling, evaporation from forests returning moisture to the atmosphere where it increases local rain. Moist air is drawn over land in the lower atmosphere where it then rises and becomes depleted of moisture as clouds form and the resulting rain falls. While this moisture-depleted air returns to the ocean via the upper atmosphere, the net imported moisture that fell to the ground as rain now returns to the ocean via rivers.
