A. Pollutants will make coral reefs growth rapidly
B. Animal habitats will be abundant
C. Erosion will decrease after the vegetation is removed
D. Deforestation releasing more CO2 will cause acidic waters

Answer 1

D. Deforestation releasing more CO2 will cause acidic waters.

Step-by-step explanation:

honestly, none of the answer options is fully correct.

A. is nonsense, as corals need really clean water. pollutants being led into the sea water with coral reefs actually kill them.

B. is nonsense, as without forests and bushes fewer and fewer animals will have a place for living. and not more and more.

C. is nonsense, as vegetation is in fact keeping the soil and dirt together, acting against erosion. without vegetation erosion is really increasing a lot.

D. particularly when burning the vegetation a lot of CO2 and other pollutants will be released. but into the air, and not directly into the sea water. true, yes, via rain and such it is brought also from the air back into the sea water. but wide spread.
