Answer:

The correct answer is "They turn to nations with rain forests for raw materials".

Step-by-step explanation:

Developed nations such as the United States play a part in rainforest destruction by turning to nations with rain forest for raw materials. It is reported that agriculture practices account for 70 percent of rain forest deforestation. Developed nations that buy raw materials (such as bananas, citrus, cassava, and avocado) from nations with rain forest, must check that these nations perform responsible agricultural practices.
