Answer: C. Forest areas in the region are limited, and the loss of forests leads to drought, soil erosion, and habitat destruction.
Explanation:
Deforestation refers to the cutting down of and destruction of trees in an area so that the land may be used for something else. Deforestation in Australia is being driven by the need for farmland especially for cattle farming.
One problem with this is that forest areas are limited in Australia which has less than 17% of its land mass consisting of forests. The loss of these forests will lead to drought, soil erosion and habitat destruction to animals with an already limited habitat.
