Answer:

c. It will decrease because of decreased photosynthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

photosynthesis is the process in which plants turn carbon dioxide into oxygen. Without it, animals would use up all of the oxygen, and there would be nothing to replenish it. If The trees and forests are chopped down, there will be less plants to create oxygen for us to breathe
