Answer:
B. Place the houses close together and use the remaining forest as a natural common area.
Step-by-step explanation:
Placing the houses close together and use the remaining forest as a natural area is the development plan that would cause little harm to the existing forest ecosystem because less area of forest will be disturbed and the remaining forest is protected from the harm. This type of development is good for both people and organisms present in the ecosystem due to little damaged of their habitat and these organisms can't be extinct from that area.
