A
1/6 of India’s landmass
B
1/8 of India’s landmass
C
1/10 of India’s landmass
D
1/4 of India’s landmass
Solution:
About one-sixth of India's landmass of total area was under agricultural use in 1600 AD. In recent years, as the population has grown, so needs agriculture. Currently, more than half of India's land area is being developed. As a result, woodlands have been losing variety at a rapid rate. During the period of industrialization between 1700 and 1995, 13.9 million square kilometres of forest were felled for housing, development, cropland, and fuelwood. This represents 9.3% of the world's total land area.
