Answer:

D. urban sprawl and deforestation

Step-by-step explanation:

Urban sprawl is a very common process in which a population moves from populated towns and cities to low density areas such as rural land. This results in the spread of a city over an increasingly larger area. A related process is deforestation. This refers to the removal of trees in order to utilize the land in some other way (such as for agriculture, construction or housing). In this example, both processes are happening simultaneously.
