Solution

The correct option is D Demand for forest products has increased
The Earth cannot sustain life without healthy, thriving forests.They are like the green lungs of the planet, supplying us with oxygen and helping to balance rainfall and climate.They are home to over two-thirds of the world’s species. Yet our forests are at risk. They are being logged for things like toothpaste, tissue paper, magazines, animal feed and more. They are being burned, degraded and logged at astonishing rates, as much as 80% of the world’s forests are already destroyed.
