When Nepal clear-cut its mountainous forests, it created environmental disasters in other countries. Which of the following is not one of the created disasters? A) destabilized soil leading to landslides B) increased sediment load in rivers and streams C) flooding conditions downstream D) local farmers suffering from increased crop pests

It would definitely not be A, as that is an obvious downside of clear-cutting mountainous regions. It wouldn't be B, because increased landslides would put more sediments into streams and rivers below the mountains. Then, when it rains on the mountains, there is not compact dirt to absorb the rain, causing huge amounts of water to flow down and cause flooding. The only possible one that would not be an effect of clear-cutting a mountain would be D.
