Deforestation primarily impacts terrestrial habitats (loss of trees, soil erosion, habitat fragmentation). While it can indirectly affect aquatic systems (runoff, sedimentation, altered stream flows), the other choices—oil spills, pollution, and global warming—have more direct and widespread effects on aquatic ecosystems.
