Alexander the Great was famous for his military power and is a legendary figure in history.
Much of what we know about Alexander the Great is unreliable and steeped in myth; a lot of these mythologies were used by Alexander’s successors.
In the Kingdom of Thrace, during the reign of Lysimachus—a successor of Alexander the Great who lived from 361 BCE to 281 BCE—an interesting coin was issued. This coin, which featured the head of Alexander the Great with ram’s horns on either side of his crown, was issued in the ancient city of Parium, in the northwestern region of modern-day Turkey. The horns were the symbol of the Egyptian god Amun—or Zeus, who is often conflated with Amun—from whom Alexander claimed descent. Flanked with these godlike horns, Alexander attained the status of a deity.

Surprisingly, Alexander himself did not issue coins with his own image; his successors did. Why would his successors refer back to their deceased predecessor as they established new empires? The reason is that Alexander the Great was—and still is—a powerful symbol of power, military genius, and conquest, whether or not this description of him is historically accurate. His image, name, and legendary power remained resonant—and politically visible—long after his death.
Answer: C. Forest areas in the region are limited, and the loss of forests leads to drought, soil erosion, and habitat destruction.
Explanation:
Deforestation refers to the cutting down of and destruction of trees in an area so that the land may be used for something else. Deforestation in Australia is being driven by the need for farmland especially for cattle farming.
One problem with this is that forest areas are limited in Australia which has less than 17% of its land mass consisting of forests. The loss of these forests will lead to drought, soil erosion and habitat destruction to animals with an already limited habitat.
