Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The immediate, direct impact when a forest is cleared is that habitat is destroyed. One point can be awarded for this response. To determine this answer, one needs to understand the consequences of forest clearing. When a forest is cleared, the trees and vegetation that provided a home for countless species are removed. This leads to the destruction of their habitat, making it impossible for them to survive. Therefore, "habitat is destroyed" is the correct answer.
