Answer:

B. the automobile industry

Step-by-step explanation:

Automobile industry exist in Latin America but the size of this industry is relatively small compared to other industry.

According to the data provided by the United Nations, about 70% of the total deforestation occurred in Latin america can be attributed to Agriculture, harvest, and animal farming industries.

These industries tend to require large amount of land in order to operate. so companies often cut down a lot of trees in the forest in order to create open spaces to build their factories.
