read this paragraph from the excerpt:
and the environment suffers, too. when people collect wood every day from their local forests to create charcoal or fuel for wood-burning stoves, it creates an unsustainable pace of deforestation that leads to mudslides, loss of watershed, and other environmental consequences. these stoves also contribute up to 25 percent of black carbon emissions, a pollutant that contributes directly to climate change.
why does the author place this paragraph immediately after the two paragraphs about diseases?
a. this paragraph makes a related but broader point about environmental harm rather than harm to individuals.
b. this paragraph is less important than the previous ones, so it is placed later in the order.
c. this paragraph makes a point that contrasts with the point of the previous two paragraphs.
d. this paragraph continues the previous two paragraphs by providing evidence for their idea.
