Answer:
Forest is the correct option.
Explanation:
Sixty percent of land in Brazil consist o forest and the share of Arable land is 32 percent. It is also the most bio diverse countries in the world. The bulk of the Brazilian forest lies in the Amazon Basin. But the country is witnessing the loss of forest cover in the past few years. Especially after the 1970's it has lost 19 percent of its forest cover area, due to the construction of Trans- Amazonian highway and the growing population in the Amazon basin.
Land use pattern in Brazil: 32 percent of the land is Arable Land. 60 percent is Forest Land and 5.2 percent of the land is used for other activities. Out of 32 percent of Arable land, less than one percent is used for growing permanent crops, while 23 percent is permanent pasture.

The origins of these acts go back to the constitution where the article 4 has a clause called the fugitive slave clause which orders states to deliver up fugitives from labor (euphemism for runaway slaves) when they are requested by slaveholders.
This clause was translated into the first 1793 statute which was basically a civil statute that was not well enforced according to the southern states, thus leading to the creation of the 1850 fugitive slave act.
The 1850 act was tougher than the previous one, punishing not only runaway slaves, but also people who harbored or aided slaves in any way, with civil and criminal penalties including up to 6 months imprisonment if caught and prosecuted successfully.
There were many documented cases of people being tortured and imprisoned in south because of helping fugitives.
These acts directly violated the democracy in several ways for example:
- Slavery had been abolished in many states of the US by the time these acts were created
- They were considered by many as some species of legalized kidnapping
- They encouraged illegal abduction or arrest and sale into slavery of free black men and women denying them the fair right to trial
One clear example would be the movie "Twelve years a slave" which depicts the documented case of Solomon Northup, a free black man who was sold as a slave without proof of him being one.
