List 5 adverse effects of construction damage to trees:

Trunk damage, root damage, soil compaction, branch tearing, raising the grade
Root pruning, mulching, watering, aerating, fertilizing
Pruning, grafting, cabling, bracing, staking
Transplanting, thinning, reducing, elevating, deadwooding

The correct answer is: Trunk damage, root damage, soil compaction, branch tearing, raising the grade

Construction damage can cause trunk damage, root damage, soil compaction, branch tearing, and raising the grade of the tree. Option B is incorrect because it lists practices that can actually be beneficial to a tree's health, such as root pruning, mulching, watering, aerating, and fertilizing. Option C is incorrect because it lists practices used for tree maintenance rather than adverse effects of construction damage. Option D is incorrect because it lists practices for tree management rather than adverse effects of construction damage.
