Option (B)- Human activity is the correct answer for your question.

Here, I have presented the devastating effects of Human activities over the rain-forests of the world.

It has been estimated that every single year a forest area that in the size of New Jersy (22,591 Km2) is destroyed by human activates.

Some of the main reasons for deforesting world’s rain-forests are

  • For extracting minerals and energy
  • For timber and fire
  • For small and large agricultural farms
  • For making grazing lands for cattle
  • For the making of paper

Apart from humans, climate changes which a part of it is induced by humans are also found contributing itself in the destruction of rain-forests by inducing droughts and floods in frequent manner.
