The correct answer is B. Less arable land.
Arable land is the main reason why the land is cleared. Arable land is the land that is suitable for ploughing and of sufficient quality for growing plants. So for this reason, the forests are cleared (by cutting the trees and bushes) and more land for agriculture is gained.
