How does the destruction of forests contribute to levels of atmospheric carbon?

ALevels of atmospheric carbon are unaffected by destruction of forests, because the carbon entering the carbon cyclefrom the dead trees balances out the loss of carbon absorption during photosynthesis.

BWhen trees are destroyed, their stored carbon reenters the carbon cycle decreasing levels of atmospheric carbon.

CFewer trees leads to greater amounts of carbon dioxide being absorbed from the atmosphere.

DFewer trees leads to smaller amounts of carbon dioxide being absorbed from the atmosphere.?
