what overall trend does the table reveal about national forests from 1987 to 1996?
dedicated forest land expanded.
the number of forest visitors decreased.
more people entered the timber industry.
the amount of timber harvested decreased.

Explanation:

Answer:

D. The amount of timber harvested decreased.

(Note: Assuming the table (not fully visible here but from typical context about national forests over that period) shows a decrease in timber harvested. If the actual table had different data, but based on common knowledge/standard questions, this is the typical correct trend among these options for national forests 1987 - 1996: timber harvest decreased, forest land (dedicated) didn't expand much, visitors often increased, timber industry employment not a major trend of expansion here.)
