Similarly forests also absorbs carbon dioxide from the surroundings and extract the oxygen from the trees.

So, the correct option is 'Lungs of planet'.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

  • A forest is a large area dominated by trees. Forests are the dominant terrestrial ecosystem of Earth, and are distributed around the globe. Forests account for 75% of the gross primary production of the Earth's biosphere, and contain 80% of the Earth's plant biomass.
  • Forest helps in controlling the flow of water and slows it down which helps in preventing flood. Also, the trees present in the forest prevents the rain from directly hitting the ground and bind the soil together which helps in absorption of the rain water and thus prevent flood.
  • Trees also prevent soil erosion.
So, the correct answer is 'To prevent floods'.
