Answer:

C. Deforestation prevents desertification.

Explanation:

Deforestation does not prevent desertification, on the contrary, it encourages desertification.

Deforestation is the process that promotes the total or peaceful removal of native vegetation from somewhere. This practice is extremely aggressive and the main cause of desertification, destruction of natural habitat, loss of natural resources, silting of rivers, among others. Many believe that deforestation is part of and necessary for the advancement of humanity, because it is carried out for urbanization, the installation of agriculture and housing, among other important factors for humanity.

The problem is that deforestation is often done illegally and unsustainably, ending nature and preventing humanity from surviving in the long term.
