If durable timber was needed for railway sleepers, which conclusion is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pressure to fell strong, valuable trees increased

Railway tracks required large quantities of strong, durable timber, such as sal and teak, for sleepers. Therefore, forests containing valuable trees faced greater pressure from felling. Option B is incorrect because railway expansion increased, rather than ended, the demand for timber. Exam tip: remember railway expansion as a major colonial cause of deforestation.
