Solution

The correct option is C Global warming
Trees and plants absorb carbon dioxide and maintain a balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in atmosphere. Deforestation is increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and causing global warming. Impacts of global warming include increase in sea levels, and more frequent and intense weather events.
