Solution
The correct option is A It increases
Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in
order to make the land available for other uses. Deforestation has many
negative effects on the environment. The most dramatic impact is a loss of
habitat for millions of species. Seventy percent of Earth's land animals and
plants live in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys
their homes. Deforestation also drives climate change. Since, trees purify air
by absorbing carbon dioxide from atmosphere, loss of trees would result into
increase in level of carbon dioxide.
