Solution

The correct option is D 1980s
Mining activities began in the Western Ghats during 1980s when the Central Government decided to install an Iron Ore processing unit there. Due to this, the Bhadra river got polluted at its source itself. As a result of this struggle, the government was forced to take certain environmental protection measures.
