In which situation will reforestation be considered different from afforestation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When trees are planted again in a cleared forest area

Reforestation and afforestation both involve planting trees, but they refer to different starting conditions. Reforestation means planting trees again in an area where a forest existed earlier but was cleared, damaged, or degraded. Afforestation means creating a forest on land that was not previously forested. This difference is important because the history and ecological condition of the land affect the planning of conservation work.

Option A is correct because it describes restoring trees in a previously cleared forest area. The prefix “re” suggests doing something again. Option B describes afforestation, not reforestation, because it concerns a completely new non-forest area. Options C and D describe harmful activities rather than either form of tree restoration. Therefore, the defining clue is whether a forest existed there before.
