Sagot :

"A. cutting down most of the trees in a forest to make furniture" is the correct answer because some trees play a vital role in processing the carbon in the air.

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, cutting down most of the trees in a forest to make furniture

Explanation:

All species inclusive of plants, trees and microorganisms that have chlorophyll are able to fix the inorganic carbon in the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis (also known as carbon fixation). On cutting down the trees, the amount of carbon being fixed would reduce and thus more of free carbon (in the form of carbon dioxide) would be readily available in the atmosphere.
