D. None of these

Answer 1

Hint: Animals live in forests. In addition to it, the forest is the natural habitat of animals which provide them with all the requirements to survive life. Forests are rich in biodiversity.

Complete answer:
An area of land dominated by trees is called a forest. All animals and plants require a place to live. The natural places where animals and birds live are called habitats. Habitats can be referred to as places in nature that provide food, protection from predators and unfavorable weather, and a home to raise young one of an animal. The animals and plants that live in a particular habitat have adapted to the environmental conditions of that area which allows them to survive there. For example, spider monkeys that have flexible tails that allow them to grasp and balance along branches live in the trees of some tropical forests. The spines of the cactus that help them to collect and retain moisture grow in the desert. Some animals build their homes in their habitat. For example, beavers make use of wood and mud to construct lodges whereas some toads dig burrows. Other animals need not do such work. They find their homes or shelter in natural places such as caves and trees. Forest provides food for the animals through tree leaves, their fruits, and vegetables.
Therefore, option C, i.e., food and shelter is the correct answer.

Note: Due to the deforestation for industrial aspects and human activity, animals and trees are losing their natural habitat. Some of the species of plants and animals are extinct and some are already endangered.
