Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	an increase in water pollution as sediment flows into streams
B	an increase in biodiversity, because land with fewer trees and less sunlight is more inviting to a variety of species
C	a loss of soil fertility, because of the increase in wind and water erosion
D	more water flows on sloped, denuded land, resulting in erosion and increases the likelihood of landslides
