Deforestation means the cutting of forests and making them into the land. This leads to the destroy of shelter and food source to the wild animals that live in that forests. It also alters the climatic conditions by increasing the earth temperature and decreased rainfall. As the trees are cut down the underlying soil will also lead to soil erosion.
The nutrients recycling between the tress and soil will be destroyed thus making the soil unfertilized . hence, the correct option is C.
