Solution

The correct options are
A Clearing of land for large-scale farming
B Cutting of trees
C Forest fires
Trees anchor the soil with their roots, holding the soil and its nutrients. Clearing of land and cutting of trees has resulted in widespread destruction of the Amazon Forests. Forest fires and wildfires are also depleting the rainforests rapidly.
