Correct answer: C. Afforestation
- A. Reduction
- B. Recycling
- C. Afforestation
- D. Deforestation
Explanation
The correct answer is Afforestation. This term refers to the process of creating a forest, especially on land that was not previously forested, which aligns with the work of the environmental biologists in the scenario. Deforestation is incorrect because it involves clearing trees, not establishing them. Reduction and Recycling are unrelated to the process of planting trees on barren lands.
