D Correct answer
Explanation

Deforestation causes multiple environmental impacts: reduced rainfall due to decreased evapotranspiration from trees, soil erosion as tree roots no longer hold the soil, and contributes to desertification through land degradation. All these effects are interconnected and occur simultaneously when forest cover is significantly reduced, disrupting the local ecosystem.
