Solution

The correct option is C Forests do not conserve soil.
Forest cover helps to conserve soil and prevent soil erosion. The growth of more trees protects the top soil from getting exposed to strong winds that may cause soil erosion. Forests also act as a diverse source which provides food, shelter, medicines as well as raw material for industries.
