What does afforestation mean?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Planting trees on new land to increase forest cover

Afforestation is the establishment of trees or forests on land that has not recently been forested or was not previously classified as forest. Its purpose is to increase tree cover and provide benefits such as carbon absorption, habitat creation, soil protection, shade, and improved water regulation. Consequently, option C is correct because it describes planting trees on new land to expand forest cover. Cutting down trees is deforestation, the opposite process; polluting rivers harms aquatic ecosystems; and burning waste can release smoke and harmful pollutants. Afforestation should be planned with suitable native species and proper care rather than treated as merely planting trees without considering local ecology. The key green-skills idea is restoring and expanding vegetation responsibly.
