Deforestation is the process of cutting or removal of forest to fulfill the need of the population. It has many negative impacts on the environment such as loss of species, soil erosion and reduces rainfall. The tree absorbs water from soil for photosynthesis and produces water vapor that is released into the atmosphere which in turn causes rainfall. If there will be less number of the tree then rainfall will also decrease. Plants absorb carbon dioxide (greenhouse gas) for photosynthesis and releases oxygen. Greenhouse gases absorbs the solar energy and increase the earth's temperature is called as global warming. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
