Solution

The correct option is B Only statement 1 is correct.
While hunting was considered an adventure sport for the British, Indians were not allowed to hunt. During the colonial rule, it became so widespread that many animals faced the risk of extinction, especially tigers. Hunting tigers became the symbol of man’s supremacy over nature. Only certain areas of forests were reserved for hunting. As time progressed, environmentalists and conservators advocated for the protection of all animals to maintain ecological balance.
