Answer 1

The correct option is B

Monoculture in the area.

The correct option is B

Explanation of the correct option :

1. The practice of removing a large area of forests and growing one species of plant is called Monoculture.
2. It is promoted by clearing entire tracts of forests.
3. Cultivating of single species of plants.

Explanation of the incorrect option :

Option A:

1. Biodiversity stretches across the globe and within the region therefore it is not evenly distributed.
2. Biodiversity is also dependent on various factors like altitude, temperature, presence of different species, soil, etc.

Option C:

1. All plants require various factors to grow like light, soil, and shelter.
2. Firstly the tree grows from the seed. The seed then drops from the tree to grow into a new tree, this results in a natural forest.
3. Some trees also grow through the wind dispersion.

Option D:

1. Preservation saves the ecosystem from damaging human activities.
2. For example, sustainable logging practices to decrease deforestation.

Final answer: In our country, vast tracts of forests are cleared and a single species of plant is cultivated. This practice promotes monoculture in the area.
