| (i) CO, concentration increases. |
| (ii) Habitat destruction leading to loss of biodiversity. |
| (iii) Disturbance in hydrologic cycle. |
| (iv) Desertification. |
| Which of the statement given above are correct? |
A) (i), (ii) and (iii)
B) (ii), (iii) and (iv)
C) (i), (iii) and (iv)
D) (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Deforestation can be resulted into increase in carbon dioxide (\[C{{O}_{2}}\]) concentration in the atmosphere because trees that could hold a lot of carbon in their biomass are lost with deforestation. Deforestation also causes loss of biodiversity due to habitat destruction, disturbs hydrologic cycle, causes soil erosion and may lead to desertification in extreme cases.
