Answer:

B. It will affect more forest habitats as people need larger supplies of wood.

Step-by-step explanation:

If wood is the easiest fuel for heating and cooking and people use it really common and if the human population grows, wood will run out easily. Wood is a limited supply as there isn't an infinite amount of trees in the world, trees normally take ten to twenty years to fully grow and there are billions of people in this world, but not billions of trees. Trees are also being cut down not only to use it as fuel to heat up things and cook, but also to have much more space for estates, malls and places.
