Answer : Option C
Explanation :
The minimum for a cover necessary to maintain ecological balance is 33% of the total land area. At least 33% of the land area of a country should be under the forest. This is the ideal balance for maintaining ecological balance in the environment. Unless the balance is maintained there is high chance of suffering from natural calamities like irregular rain, drought, flood, and loss of flora and fauna, etc. This forest maintenance policy is the herald of the Green Movement in India.
