Dear student,
 
 
Deforestation means clearing or removal of forest by extensive cutting of trees, water cycle which goes on in the environment gets disturbed by lack of  sufficient number of trees. Trees increase the amount of rainfall due to transpiration, therefore if number of trees decrease rainfall also decreases, while other factors given in the options A, B & D increases.
So, the correct answer is 'Rainfall'
