Answer:

B. Western Africa

Step-by-step explanation:

Almost 90% of West Africa's coastal rainforest has already been destroyed and deforestation in the Congo Basin has doubled since 1990. Logging and agriculture continue to be two of the biggest threats to Africa's tropical forests. The unsustainable production of palm oil is one of the biggest drivers.
