The answer is D) Less oxygen and a drier environment


Deforestation is the deliberate act of cutting down forests and trees. If done on a large enough scale, it has the power to completely change the local ecosystem of the area.


Cutting down of trees can result in lower oxygen available in the area as well as a drier climate in the area. This can lead to the destruction of a habitat for numerous species in the area.
