The correct answer is (c) The animal populations will increase in the surrounding forests.

The forest provides shelter for the animals. If there is forest fire in Florida and it clears thousands of acres of trees then the population of the surrounding forest will increase. As a result of forest fire the population living there will run to some another nearby place and the surrounding forest will serve as shelter for the those animals. The forest nearby will also provide food which is also an essential part for the survival of animals.

Thus, the population of surrounding forest will increase.
