    D

    Explanation:

    Cattle ranching is the leading cause of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. The majority deforestation in the Amazon Basin since the 1960s has been caused by cattle ranchers and land speculators who burned huge tracts of rainforest for pasture. Brazilian government data indicates that more than 60 percent of deforested land ends up as cattle pasture.
