1. Which of the following agricultural practices has the most significant long-term environmental impact in tropical regions?
a. Clearing small patches of land to pasture dairy cows, which decreases water pollution from
runoff
b. Building terraces on sloping land to grow rice, which destabilizes hillsides
C. Burning extensive areas of forested land to create pasture, which decreases biodiversity
d. Burning small areas of forested land for subsistence farming, which increases biodiversity
e. Moving livestock to higher pasture areas in the spring, which leads to soil degradation
Which of the folloin

The correct answer is option "Burning extensive areas of forested land to create pasture, which decreases biodiversity".

Explanation:

The missing options of this question are:

A) Clearing small patches of land to pasture dairy cows, which decreases water pollution from runoff.

B) Building terraces on sloping land to grow rice, which destabilizes hillsides.

C) Burning extensive areas of forested land to create pasture, which decreases biodiversity.

D) Moving livestock to higher pasture areas in the spring, which leads to soil degradation.

The correct answer is option C) "Burning extensive areas of forested land to create pasture, which decreases biodiversity".

Tropical regions are rich in forested landscapes, where multiple species of animals and plants live. The agricultural practice that most significant long-term environmental impact is to burn these areas to create pasture. It is estimated that burning forested lands cannot be recovered in least than 28 years, while some areas have permanent damages.

Explanation:

the answer is the last option or letter d)
