d

Explanation:

Deforestation is defined as the large - scale removal of trees from forests or wooded areas. Coral reefs are related to marine ecosystems and coral - related activities, not deforestation. Exotic species are non - native species and are related to issues like invasive species, not deforestation. Plankton are microscopic organisms in water bodies and have nothing to do with deforestation. So the correct answer is related to trees.

Answer:

D. trees
