Answer:
(b) landslides
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to identify the direct negative result of deforestation from ...
- lumber products
- landslides
- land available for building
- acid rain
Soil stability
The removal of trees from land will generally make lumber products available, and may provide open land for building, farming, or grazing. These may be considered positive effects.
However, the loss of trees affects soil stability, in that tree roots generally give soil stability and cohesion. The direct effect of deforestation is an increase in the number and frequency of landslides.

Additional comment
Acid rain is generally a consequence of sulphur compounds and oxides of nitrogen in the air. These can come from volcanic activity or industrial processes.
