What was NOT an outcome of the agricultural revolution? 

A)  increased soil erosion 
B)  increased manipulation of nature 
C)  protection of wild plants and animals 
D)  increased deforestation

The agricultural revolution involved clearing land and using it for cultivation, which resulted in increased deforestation and manipulation of nature. It also led to soil erosion, as intensive farming techniques often depleted the soil of nutrients. However, the agricultural revolution did not prioritize the protection of wild plants and animals, as the primary focus was on producing food for human consumption.
