The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the Government of India's initiative to plant quick-growing trees that yield better fodder and fuel, we need to analyze the options provided: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question states that the Government of India is focusing on planting quick-growing trees for better fodder and fuel. We need to identify which of the given options best describes this initiative. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **(a) Afforestation**: This refers to the process of planting trees in an area where there was no previous tree cover. While this is related to planting trees, it does not specifically address the aspect of quick-growing trees for fodder and fuel. - **(b) Forest conservation**: This involves protecting and managing existing forests to prevent deforestation and degradation. It focuses on preserving existing trees rather than planting new ones, especially quick-growing varieties. - **(c) Social forestry**: This is a practice aimed at planting trees for the benefit of local communities, focusing on quick-growing species that can provide fodder and fuel. It emphasizes the social and economic benefits of forestry, making it highly relevant to the question. - **(d) All the above**: This option suggests that all previous options apply, but since afforestation and forest conservation do not specifically focus on the quick-growing trees for fodder and fuel, this option is not correct. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the most appropriate answer is **(c) Social forestry**. This option aligns with the initiative of planting quick-growing trees for the benefit of communities. ### Final Answer: (c) Social forestry

In the tropical rainforest, the majority of trees have showy animal-pollinated flowers. In temperate forests the majority of trees are wind pollinated. Which factors best explain these contrasting patterns ? (i) Wind is rare in tropical forests. (ii) Because of high species diversity in the tropics, individuals of trees species are often widely separated making wind an inefficient means of pollen dispersal. (iii) More opportunities for coevolved mutualisms exist in tropical forests because of the high diversity of animal species. (iv) Trees in tropical forests are mostly evergreen and year-round leaf canopies impede pollen dispersal by wind. (v) Flowering in tropical forests occurs over a short period of time when wind is absent. (a) (i) , (ii) and (v) (b) (i),(iii) and (v) (c) (ii), (iii) and (iv) (d) (ii) and (iv)

The figure below depicts life-histroy strategies for three plant species (a,b and c) along 3 axes : strength of competition with other organisms, level of distrubance in the habitat, and level of environmental stress in the habitat. Species a grows in habitats where competition among species b grown in habitats with and stress are low. Species b grows in habitats with high environmental stress but with low interspecies competition. Species c grows in highly disturbed habitats with low enviornmental stress. Which of the statements below is/are correct ? I. Characteristics of "a-type" plants are faster growth rate and short-lived leaves. II. Desert annual plants are "b-type" species. they have rapid growth and produce large amount of seeds in a short time after rains. III. Most plants belonging to "c-type" species would be herbaceous while "a-type" and "b-types" species are likely to be trees or shrubs.
