no change in the world

Explanation:

Forests (especially trees) absorb $\ce{CO_2}$ during photosynthesis. When forests are cut down, there are fewer trees to absorb $\ce{CO_2}$, so $\ce{CO_2}$ in the atmosphere increases. The second option is wrong because cutting forests reduces absorption, not increases it. The third option is wrong as deforestation has environmental impacts like climate change.

Answer:

A. $\ce{CO_2}$ to NOT be absorbed, so the $\ce{CO_2}$ increases in the atmosphere.
