- B. Economic benefits for local communities
- C. Reduction of biodiversity
- D. Soil erosion
Answer
The correct answer is Economic benefits for local communities.
Explanation
The correct option is Economic benefits for local communities. Economic benefits for local communities is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to explain sustainable management strategies including selective logging and replanting, conservation and education, ecotourism, international hardwood agreements and debt reduction. This belongs to Tropical rainforests within Section B: The living world, so the answer must stay focused on the geographical process, evidence, place, or impact named by the curriculum. The other options are weaker because they move away from Tropical rainforests, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding selective logging
Students often think selective logging removes all trees in a forest, causing the same level of damage as clear‑cutting
Explain that selective logging targets only mature or valuable trees, leaving the majority of the canopy intact to maintain habitat structure and ecological functions
