Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Deforestation is the cutting of trees. Trees like plants use photosynthesis for energy. Products of photosynthesis include carbon dioxide. When carbon dioxide is made the tree does not release it but when trees are cut down where does all of that carbon dioxide go? It gets released in to the atmosphere therefore the answer is A.
