Solution

The correct option is A

Afforestation.


Deforestation is defined as the removal of forests leading to several imbalances ecologically and environmentally which results in a decline in habitat and biodiversity. Urbanization, mining, fires, logging and agricultural activities are few causes of deforestation. Afforestation is the process of planting trees, or sowing seeds, in a barren land devoid of any trees to create a forest.
