A , C, & D? 

 

C is the most logical answer but rainwater can make a large oak tree branch break from extra weight and shade can kill a tree completely.  I didnt know what evapotranspiration was till I followed your posts.

Good points ... I didn't think about the too much water or flood waters pushing over.  If only those fallen trees could talk.  Of course they don't make a sound if you weren't there to see them.  (Okay, I'll admit, I'm lost in a metaphor!)
