Answer 1

The correct option is D None of the above

Explanation:

Natural vegetation refers to a plant community that has grown naturally without human aid and has been left undisturbed by humans for a long time. This is termed virgin vegetation. Thus, cultivated crops and fruits, orchards form part of vegetation but not natural vegetation.

It is notable that in virgin vegetation, species that are purely Indian are known as endemic or indigenous species but those which have come from outside India are termed exotic plants.
