C. Canada has one of the lowest rates of deforestation in the world.

Reason: the timber industry's primary environmental impact is loss of forest cover, so low deforestation rates directly indicate effective measures (sustainable logging, reforestation, protected areas). Air or water quality and desertification are less direct or relevant indicators of timber-industry impact.
