Major consumer of wood from the forest is________________.

A) Thermal power plant

B) Paper industry

C) Chemical industry

D) None

The correct answer is:

B) Paper industry

The paper industry is the major consumer of wood from forests. Wood is processed to make pulp, which is then used to produce paper, cardboard, and many related products.

Other industries like thermal power plants and chemical industries may use some wood, but their main raw materials are coal, oil, gas, or minerals. Hence, they are not the primary consumers of forest wood.
