The answer would be A. clear-cutting eliminates all trees leaving none behind to maintain soil fertility or house native animals.

 a. clear-cutting eliminates all trees leaving none behind to maintain soil fertility or house native animals.

Explanation:

The clear-cutting is the process of removing all the trees from the forest or from any other location. The selective cutting is the method of cutting of particular trees from a forest or other locations. Clear cutting is more destructive than selective cutting because of the fact that removal of trees in large number will result in soil erosion. As the trees are responsible for holding the soil by their roots. This will negatively affect the fertility of the soil as the mineral particles necessary for the growth of the plants will be lost by agents like wind and water. Also the trees are the habitat of large diversity of animals like monkeys and squirrels. In clear cutting these animals will loose their habitat they will become susceptible to predators.
