The correct answer is deforestation. Deforestation refers to the clearing or removal of trees and vegetation from a forested area, typically for the purpose of making land available for other uses such as agriculture, urbanization, or industrialization. Humans play a significant role in causing deforestation through activities such as logging, slash-and-burn agriculture, and the expansion of infrastructure. This process has a significant impact on Earth's ecosystems, including the loss of habitat for many species, disruption of the water cycle, and contribution to climate change.
