What effect does deforestation have on the burning of fossil fuels?

It destroys trees that usually store carbon in their wood, which would help offset CO2 released from burning fossil fuels.
b
It increases the amount of wood burned for fuel in place of coal resources, so fossil fuels are able to regenerate faster.
c
It causes an increase in global temperatures, which is mistakenly attributed to the burning of fossil fuels.
