Explanation:

- Option 1: effect

- "Effect" is a noun, meaning a change that is a result or consequence of an action. The sentence structure requires a verb, not a noun, so this is incorrect.

- Option 2: attack

- "Attack" is a verb meaning to take aggressive action against something. It doesn't fit the context of the passage, which is about changes in natural processes.

- Option 3: affect

- "Affect" is a verb meaning to have an influence on something. This fits well with the sentence structure and context, talking about the impact on water vapour production.

- Correct Answer

- Option 4: hold

- "Hold" is a verb meaning to carry or support. It doesn't fit well contextually with how deforestation impacts water vapour production.
