Answer: D) Tree roots improve soil water retention

There are many reasons which states that deforestation increases the risk of flood. First   , some water stay on the leaves and evaporates in to the atmosphere. Second, tree leaves reduce the impact of raindrops on the soil which causes less soil erosion.

Third, tree roots absorb water from the soil, which make the soil dry and it absorb more water rainwater. The roots of tree hold the soil in place and reduce the movement of sediment which reduce the capacity of river to break its banking. Thus, reducing the chances of flood.
