Correct Answer✯:

The correct answer that you are looking for would be:

B.) Habitat loss

Explanation♪:

Habitat loss answer option is correct because removing trees deprives the forest of portions of its canopy, which blocks the sun’s rays during the day and retains heat at night. That disruption leads to more extreme temperature swings that can be harmful to plants and animals. Yet the effects of deforestation reach much farther, it is very sad for the environment >﹏<.

I hope this helped you,

And I do hope you enjoy the rest of your day! Here take this heart you need it. (ɔ◔◡◔)ɔ ♥

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When I was growing up, one of the most popular cartoons was a little possum whose name was Pogo. He often said

“We have met the enemy and he is us.”

It is something Pogo said more than once. We are the problem with biodiversity being threatened.

We clear land for agriculture, not only in Canada and the United States, but in places like Brazil where it matters what is done to the environment. Those trees are the planet's lungs. Whole environmental groups are devoted to stopping the harvesting of trees that are hundreds of years old.

Our oceans have become cesspools of plastic.

Our rivers have become dumping grounds for all kinds of pollutants like paint and car tires to name just a couple.

Our landscape has been cluttered by billboards advertising things that are hundreds of miles away.

There's mining, oil, and other industries that make Mother Nature shudder every time they come near her.
