Solution

The correct options are
B Root system of trees
C Fertile and porous soil
D Canopy
The closed canopy and many layers of vegetation in a forest slows down the speed of raindrops. The root system helps the water to seep into the ground. The fertile and porous soil absorbs the water and let it reach underground. All these factors prevent flooding.
