Answer
Correct option: D.
All of the above
Deforestation $($disappearance of the forest$)$ is when humans remove or clear large areas of forest lands and related ecosystems for non $-$ forest use.
Without trees, rain runs off soil into rivers and streams $i.e,$ soil erosion, raising the water level, leading to floods.
When deforestation takes place, it results in an increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere, resulting in global warming.
If forests are destroyed, animals and other creatures of the forests will come out to human settlements searching for a place to stay.
They will be killed more, thus leading to their extinction.
