The effect that is least likely to be a result of deforestation is an increase in biodiversity. That is option B.

Deforestation is a practice that encourages the clearing of forests for other purposes such as agricultural croplands, urbanization, or mining activities.

This practice needs to be avoided because:

  • posses a greater risk of flooding as deforestation erodes the soil.
  • they provide a protective cover for the soil against the action of wind and rain thereby preventing soil erosion.
  • the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere decreases as it is cleared by trees during photosynthesis.

But deforestation leads to a decrease in biodiversity instead of an increase.

Deforestation can lead to biodiversity loss. This occurs when animal species that live in the trees no longer have their habitat, cannot relocate, and therefore become extinct.
