What is the strongest relation between infrastructure expansion and deforestation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Railways, roads and construction created a continuing demand for land and timber

A is correct. During colonial rule, railways required timber for sleepers, while bridges and buildings also used wood. Land was cleared for roads, railway lines and other construction. These networks also helped move timber and other forest resources to markets and ports. Option B is incorrect because many projects required the clearing of forest land. Exam tip: mention the demand for land and timber for railways when explaining deforestation.
