Answer:

The correct answer is statement b.

Explanation:

This is due to the fact that the reduction of the vast majority of forest land, that is, mainly in Brazil has resulted in the extinction of the unknown and the familiar species. This has also declined the biological diversity and thus has immensely affected the fertility of the soil.  

The soil has turned shallow and thus are less fertile in comparison to the Mid-Western United States. The Midwestern parts of the United States possess variety of soils, which are produced due to the glacial deposits and thus provides more fertility to the soil.
