The option that is not an example of a collective goods problem is C. deforestation

How is deforestation not considered a collective goods problem ?

Deforestation is not typically considered an example of a collective goods problem. While it does have environmental and societal consequences, deforestation is often driven by economic interests, such as logging or land development.

Pollution, including air and water pollution, is a classic example of a collective goods problem. Individuals or industries may benefit from activities that release pollutants, but the negative consequences (health risks, environmental damage) are shared collectively, requiring collective action to mitigate.
