Question

The biologists explained that the burned region will naturally recover and eventually become forest again. This is because many tree species in forests have the ability to regenerate, and the burned area will provide an open space for new growth. It may take some time, but with patience, the forest will regrow on its own. Option A is incorrect because the biologists did not mention anything about erosion. Option B is incorrect because it is not necessarily true that the same region will catch on fire again. Option D is incorrect because the biologists did not mention anything about invasive species.
