• A. A only
• B. A and B
• C. B and C

Answer 1

The correct option is D A, B and C

$\bullet$ During heavy rain, trees absorb and store a large amount of water with the help of their roots. This prevents the top fertile soil from being eroded and acts as a barrier to floodwater, preventing soil erosion and floods.
$\bullet$ Cutting down trees for agriculture or for setting up buildings destroys the natural habitat of animals sometimes leading to their deaths.
