The correct response is:
a decrease in the amount of carbon dioxide that is released in the atmosphere.
The depletion of the world's rainforests actually results in an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, not a decrease. Rainforests play a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide, so their destruction leads to higher levels of carbon dioxide.
