Answer 1

The correct option is A The process of cutting a lot of trees.

Deforestation is the process of cutting a lot of trees from a forest at one time. Open spaces thus obtained are used for agriculture, housing, industry, and for building roads and railways. Deforestation results in an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide, which leads to a rise in temperature.
