Solution

The correct options are
A Provides habitat for various animal species
B Reduces soil erosion
D Provides raw materials for the industries
Forests provide food, shelter to various plants and animals.

Wind and run-off water carries away the top fertile layer of the soil along with it, causing soil erosion. The presence of trees reduce the speed of the flowing water and prevents the soil erosion.

Forests provide various raw materials like wood, medicinal plants, fruits, etc for the industries.
