Solution

The correct option is A Increased groundwater levels
When there is a thick forest cover, the water after a good bout of rainfall, can percolate into the ground and increases the level of groundwater of that place. Moreover, the leaves of the trees also help in bringing more rain to the place through the process of transpiration.
