Answer 2

The correct option is (a)The groundwater level would increase.

Explanation:

• The effect of landscape change on the groundwater level of area X after plantation is a rise in groundwater level because a tree with massive roots can absorb more water and store it in roots, increasing the quantity of water on the soil.
• Water is lost by transpiration in trees during metabolism. This water aids in the formation of clouds and contributes to rainfall.
• Trees allow more water to enter the system and elevate groundwater so that it can percolate.
