Detailed Solution

Concept- As the lungs of the environment, forests are well known. As we all know, plants use photosynthesis, which produces oxygen as a byproduct, to prepare food.
In large quantities, forests produce the oxygen needed for animal respiration. Tree roots firmly retain soil in place and stop water and wind erosion. Trees are the highest vertical component or strata in a forest ecosystem, followed by ground-level shrubs, herbs, and grasses. Additionally, forests support the soil's nitrogen cycling. We have secure access to water, food, shelter, livelihoods, and fuel thanks to trees. All of these activities include forests in one way or another.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
