Solution
The correct option is B To prevent deforestation Chipko movement was initiated in 1974 by the women of the Garhwal region in the Himalayas. The aim of the Chipko movement was to prevent the deforestation of trees near their village. The women of the Reni village hugged the trees and prevented the trees from getting axed by the local contractors, who were clearing large area of the forest land.
