Correct Answer: BDCA


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation:
Trees actively contribute to air purification by absorbing harmful pollutants through their leaves and bark, releasing clean oxygen essential for our breathing (B). In urban environments, trees play a crucial role by absorbing pollutant gases such as nitrogen oxides, ozone, and carbon monoxide while also clearing up particles like dust and smoke (D). They counterbalance the increasing levels of carbon dioxide resulting from deforestation and the combustion of fossil fuels, which otherwise trap heat in the atmosphere (C). This action contributes significantly to cleaner air quality. Trees not only aid in purifying the air but also act as vital carbon sinks, offsetting carbon and mitigating the effects of climate change (A).

Therefore , the correct answer is BDCA.
