Solution

The correct options are
A
Forest fires

B
Severe droughts

Deforestation refers to the removal of forest cover where the land is thereafter converted to non-forest use. Forest fires and severe droughts are some of the natural causes which lead to deforestation. Due to forest fires, a large number of trees get burnt and hence it causes deforestation. In case of severe droughts, trees die due to the unavailability of water.
