Plz help :( bad day Read this paragraph from the excerpt.

And the environment suffers, too. When people collect wood
every day from their local forests to create charcoal or fuel for
wood-burning stoves, it creates an unsustainable pace of
deforestation that leads to mudslides, loss of watershed, and
other environmental consequences. These stoves also
contribute up to 25 percent of black carbon emissions, a
pollutant that contributes directly to climate change.

How does this paragraph contribute to the development of the
author's argument?

A. It presents specific data about the number of acres
deforested, the amount of carbon emissions, and the
fouling of watersheds.

B. It presents the environmental effects of cooking so
they appear slightly less important than the effects on
human health

C. It expresses personal passion for cooking to
emphasize the authority of the author.

D. It explains how the negative effects of inferior
cookstoves impact people's daily lives.
