Answer:

D. It would decrease.​

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this question, beavers (a type of bird) build dwellings on trees called lodges. This means that they find shelter on those trees and will make an habitat of them.

However, if most of the trees are cut down and removed from the nearby forest, there would be almost no tree left for beavers to build their lodges. Hence, causing them to lose their habitat and migrate. This will lead to a DECREASE in population of beavers.
