Why is it incomplete to explain deforestation only by population growth?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: क्योंकि रेलों, बागानों, राजस्व बढ़ाने और जहाज निर्माण की औपनिवेशिक माँगों ने भी वन कटाई बढ़ाई
Population growth alone does not explain the full scale of deforestation. Colonial authorities cleared forests to expand cultivation and land revenue, establish plantations such as tea and coffee, obtain railway sleepers, and supply timber for shipbuilding. Population pressure could be one factor, but option C correctly includes these major colonial and economic causes. Exam tip: mention agriculture, railways, plantations and revenue policies in answers on deforestation.
