What wider rural crisis is shown by shortage of fuel and fodder due to deforestation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pressure on both household life and pastoralism

The direct answer is A: shortage of fuel and fodder shows pressure on both household life and pastoralism. Fuel is needed for cooking, heating, and daily domestic work. Fodder is needed to feed cattle and other domesticated animals, which may provide milk, labour, manure, transport, or income. The reasoning is: deforestation reduces the plants and common spaces that supplied these resources; families spend more time and money finding fuel; livestock receive less feed or must be reduced; therefore women and other household workers, as well as herders and farmers, face greater burdens. Option A is correct because it covers the two connected effects. B is wrong because maritime trade does not explain a village shortage of fuel and fodder. C is wrong because scarcity indicates hardship, not complete prosperity. D is wrong because removing forests generally reduces habitats and biodiversity. Exam cue: fuel means domestic pressure; fodder means livestock or pastoral pressure.
