To accurately answer your question, I would need to see the specific chart you are referencing. However, I can provide some general information:
A) The deforestation of the Amazon rainforest has seen fluctuations over the years, and there have been periods of both decline and increase, depending on various policies and economic conditions.
B) Deforestation rates did peak in the mid-1990s, but this was followed by some measures that led to a decline in the rates in the early 2000s.
C) Deforestation rates in the Amazon have been reported to peak in the early 2000s, especially around 2003-2004, before they began to decline again due to conservation efforts.
D) The United States does not have the authority to ban deforestation in the Amazon, as it is primarily a matter of Brazilian law and policy, although the U.S. may influence it through foreign policy and trade agreements.
If you can provide more context or details from the chart, I can help you determine which option is most accurate based on that information.
