Answer:

Clear land for grazing

Step-by-step explanation:

I searched this question 5 times and the answers I have received is that the primary cause for deforestation is land grazing for animals. Since the only answer closest to that is clear land for grazing, that should be the correct answer. Again, I am not 100% sure but it should be correct. Otherwise my second choice would be clear land for farming.
