Regarding tropical rainforests, the term evapotranspiration refers to the fact that:

A. Deforestation causes a decline in atmospheric oxygen.

B. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and "exhale" oxygen.

C. The humidity of rainforests can produce local and regional precipitation.

D. Deforestation causes a loss of soil fertility due to water evaporation.

C. the humidity of rain forests can produce local and regional precipitation. because evapotranspiration is when water is evaporated from plants into the air which can make the air humid

The correct answer is - C. the humidity of rainforests can produce local and regional precipitation.
The evapotranspiration represents a process in which big amounts of water vapor is released by the plants and that water vapor goes up into the atmosphere and contributes to creating warm wet clouds that will produce rain. The amount of water vapor released from the plants in the rainforests is much bigger than at any other place in the world, and this is due to the constant heat throughout the year as well as the rains that appear almost every day and oversaturate the plants with water so they have to release part of it. This contributes significantly to the formation of clouds and how big and wet they will be, and thus how much rain they will produce.

The answer is C. Evapotranspiration in tropical rainforests refers to how humidity can lead to local and regional precipitation, as plants release large amounts of water vapor that contribute to cloud formation and rainfall. This process is vital for maintaining local ecosystems and climates.
