Which is the most accurate relation between railway expansion and deforestation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A large demand for timber arose for railway sleepers and construction

Railway sleepers placed beneath railway tracks were largely made of timber. Expanding rail lines, along with the construction of bridges and stations, required huge quantities of wood, increasing deforestation during the colonial period. Option B is incorrect because timber was widely used in railway construction. Exam tip: link ‘railway sleepers’ with timber demand and deforestation.
