How did British naval power indirectly pressure Indian forests?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Demand for durable timber for ships increased

The British navy needed strong, durable timber to build and repair warships and other vessels. Rising demand for woods such as teak led to large-scale extraction from Indian forests and increased pressure on them. Option D is incorrect because railway expansion also increased, rather than ended, the demand for timber. Exam tip: remember shipbuilding, railways, and plantations as major colonial causes of deforestation.
