Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• Cutting trees recklessly thereby causing huge damage to vegetation is known as Deforestation.
• Forests, trees and plants balance the amount of Carbon dioxide gas in the air by utilising it during photosynthesis and in return, releasing Oxygen gas in the air.
• Hence, the lesser the plantation count, the more will be the Carbon dioxide level in the air.

Therefore, the given statement is true.
