The correct answers are:

Some species will develop adaptations to survive in the deforested land.

Some populations will migrate out of the deforested area.

Explanation:

Deforestation can be described as a process in which trees are cut down from a forest. This might be because of a natural disaster but mostly occurs due to human activities.

Deforestation mostly results in the organisms to move away from their previous habitat in order to survive as the resources become limited for them when deforestation occurs.

However, there are a few type of species which stay and try to adapt to the new conditions presented to them. Adaptations do not develop instantly but may occur with the passage of time.
