Question

with the worlds population increasing by 50-70 million people per year, what is deforestation expected to do? remain about the same decrease exponentially increase achieve homeostatic equilibrium

Explanation:

As the world's population increases (by 50 - 70 million per year), the demand for resources like land (for agriculture, housing, etc.) and wood (for fuel, construction) rises. Deforestation is the clearing of forests, and with more people needing these resources, deforestation is expected to increase. "Remain about the same" is incorrect as population growth drives more resource needs. "Decrease exponentially" is opposite of what's expected. "Achieve homeostatic equilibrium" doesn't apply as population growth disrupts the balance, leading to more deforestation, not equilibrium.

Answer:

C. increase
