The correct answer is oxygen. Forests play a crucial role in the production of oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, trees and other plants utilize sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose (a simple sugar) and oxygen. The glucose is used as a source of energy by the plants, while the oxygen is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct. As such, forests are often referred to as the "lungs of the Earth" because they are responsible for generating a significant portion of the oxygen we breathe. To determine the answer, one could consider the basic knowledge of the process of photosynthesis and its connection to forests.
