Answer:

D) Farmers and South America are often paid to protect the rainforest

Explanation:

Farmers and South America are not paid to protect the rainforest, on the contrary, they are largely responsible for the degradation of tropical forests.

Tropical forests, such as the Amazon in Brazil, suffer from the constant exploitation of farmers who often degrade the forest to establish monoculture areas or even to obtain wood. This is because these forests have a soil rich in nutrients that is very desirable for agricultural crops. For this reason, farmers decide to deforest large areas to install their crops, damaging the nature and biodiversity of these forests.
