A major consequence of clearcutting parts of the Amazon rainforest is:
**C. More carbon-dioxide emissions.**
Clearcutting leads to the loss of trees that absorb carbon dioxide, resulting in increased carbon emissions into the atmosphere, which contributes to climate change. While the other options can also be consequences of clearcutting, the increase in carbon-dioxide emissions is a significant and direct impact.
