Question

Most durable wood belongs to

• A. Cedrus deodara
• B. Dalbergia sissoo
• C. Shorea robusta
• D. Tectona grandis

Answer 1

The correct option is D Tectona grandis

Teak is a tropical hardwood tree of species Tectona grandis. The species is placed in the family Lamiaceae. It is a large, deciduous tree that is dominant in mixed hardwood forests. Teak wood is one of the most durable and stable hardwoods in the world. Thus, option D is correct.

Cedrus deodara (devadaru), Dalbergia sissoo (Indian rose wood) and Shorea robusta (sal tree) are no so much durable as teak. Thus, other options are wrong.
