Trees protect the main crop from overexposure to the sun.
Explanation: In tropical climates agroforestry provides shade that moderates temperature and light, reducing heat and water stress on understory crops. (The other options are incorrect: trees don't reliably shield crops from insects, they usually benefit yields over the longer term rather than immediately, and trees reduce—rather than increase—atmospheric CO2 by storing carbon.)
