Question 10
In our country, vast tracts of forests are cleared and a single species of plant is cultivated. This practice promotes

(a) biodiversity in the area
(b) monoculture in the area
(c) growth of natural forest
(d) preserves the natural ecosystem in the area

Answer 1

Option (b) is correct.
As the human population is increasing, more and more forest cover land is cleared for agriculture as the demand for food is increasing. Forest has different species but in agriculture, we only plant one type of plant species. So, this practice is called as the monoculture in the area.
