Solution

The correct option is D 1,2,3 and 4
Trees play a vital role to hold the surface on mountains and create natural barriers for the rain waters apart from providing fresh oxygen and acting as carbon dioxide sink. Deforestation affects wild animals, plants, and humans in at least four distinct ways: via soil erosion, water cycle disruption, which can lead to desertification and habitat loss. Agriculture is adversely affected by siltation, flooding, soil degradation, etc. The stress of environmental change may make some species more susceptible to the effect of insects, pollution, and diseases.
