I gave my students this multiple choice question: Which statement describes a harmful effect of clearing rainforests for farmland?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- makes more land available for local farmers
- removes valuable habitat for local species
- increases local groundwater levels
- provides income for local residents

Could you tell me which one is correct?
