Question

Converting forestland to urban areas through urban development could lead to which of the following? A. Less land available for lumber production. B. Reduced demand for trees. C. Reduced lumber prices. D. Less costly ways of growing trees.

Answer 1

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion of forestland into urban areas requires the cutting of large number of trees so that more land could be available for the urban area.

This cutting of trees will result into reduced demand for trees. Therefore, there will be less land available for lumber production.

Thus, we can conclude that option (a) is the correct answer.
