Option 3: Both A and B
Option 4: Only A
Correct Answer: Both A and B
Solution : The correct answer is Both A and B .
There are two ways that an increase in forest cover can mitigate floods. It aids in lessening both soil erosion and unexpected flooding. Water trickles down the roots of trees, slowing it down so it can seep through. Plant roots stabilise the soil and it is soil erosion that results in flooding. By sustaining ecological balance and generating new habitats for a species, reforestation contributes to biodiversity conservation.
