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.
The hawk, a carnivore (animal meat-eater), is predating on the rabbit, an herbivore (plant-eater). So the hawk can be seen as the predator and the rabbit as the prey.
But another type of relationship important in Ecology is consumers. So producers are the plants that feed a food web. That makes the rabbits the primary consumers (herbivores) of these plants. Then the hawks become the secondary consumers (carnivores) of the primary consumers, by eating the herbivores.
Hope that this makes sense!
