The correct answer is - A) an increase in damage to sensitive ecosystems.

In the areas in Latin America where the drug production and drug trafficking are high, the environment is taking a major blow, and there's a lot of damage done to the sensitive ecosystems. For the production of drugs first is needed the raw material, which in Latin America is mostly cannabis and coca. In order to produce these plants and profit from them, the drug lords need a lot of agricultural land, and they obtain it by destroying parts of the rainforests in general. By destroying parts of the rainforests they are inflicting very big damage to the ecosystems, and they put lot of species in the endangered list because they destroy their habitat.
