What tendency of colonial forest policy is shown by selecting and cutting particular trees?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Prioritising commercial value over biodiversity

Colonial forest officials valued timber trees such as teak and sal for railway sleepers, ships and construction. Selecting such species for felling or managing forests around them reflects commercial forestry, where profitable timber was valued more than diverse forest life and local needs. Options B and D are the opposite of colonial practice, as customary local access was often restricted. Exam tip: link ‘commercial forestry’ with priority to profitable timber species.
