Solution

The correct option is C 1973
The "Chipko Movement" has its roots in the early 1970s in the Chamoli District of Uttarakhand in India. Under the guidance of the spiritual leader Chandi Prasad Bhatt, activists from the Himalayan village of Gopeshwar formed in 1973 a human chain and encircled trees to keep them from being cut down for a factory.
So the correct answer is '1973'.
