Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Planting trees of those species which are still present in that forest

• If the deforested forest area is replaced with only one species of trees and all other vegetation is prevented from growing back then, a monoculture forest similar to agricultural crops will be the result.
• However, the reforestation involves planting of different lots of seed of seedlings taken from the area, often of multiple species.
  
• In those areas natural regeneration of a wide variety of plant and animal species that can occur.
