More carbon-dioxide emissions is a major consequence of clear cutting the parts of the Amazon rain forest.

C) More carbon-dioxide emissions.

Step-by-step explanation:

More carbon-dioxide emissions is a process of reducing oxygen in a particular area. It might to be to culture a particular chemical that is harmful for the living creature. It is also a reason for destroying the canopy in the forest leads to soil erosion, gas emissions and others.

The major consequence would be the loss of water. As transpiration is affected the water cycle is disturbed hence causing low rainfall. The trees are not available to hold water in the top soil and hence the land becomes dry.
