Answer Choices :

A: The removal of trees does not affect our fresh water supply.

B: Tree roots actually help absorb some chemicals, which prevents them from entering our fresh water supply.

C: Fewer trees increases absorption of water and other chemicals into the groundwater supply.

D: Fewer trees increases erosion, which adds more sediment to our fresh water supply.

Now Mr.Josh-Ray Says "Logging may cause the soil to be less compact and the loose dirt will enter and contaminate any water source."

Meaning - The Loose Dirt Contains Particles Are Contaminating Clean Water Sources.

D - Fewer trees increases erosion, which adds more sediment to our fresh water supply.

Therefore Mr.Josh Is Correct

"D" IS CORRECT ON PLATO.
