Answer 1

Answer:

C) the accidental introduction of exotic caterpillars that killed forests throughout the region

Explanation:

• The deforestation is a process that created by the rapid decline of the species of the trees and plants that forms the natural vegetation and thus the degradation of the quality of life of species as their habitats get destroyed and it affects the ecosystem functioning.

• Whereas the into of the caterpillars that are accidentally made or ours in the area don't cause direct harm to the forest ecosystem and they don't deplete or destroy the forest resources. Most of the deforestation is created by the soil erosion by the humans as only 1.5 % of the forest land remains.
