Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

trees (as well as other plants) produce carbon dioxide. deforestation is the removal of trees. this will not cause an increase in any pollutants such as ozone. ozone is made from VOCs and other harmful pollutants, and not caused by trees. tearing down trees will also not create more soil. So the answer has to be C
