Solution
The correct option is D Collection of fuel wood by the rural women
Depletion of flora and fauna of the
region mainly occur due to deforestation, which is cutting down trees resulting
in the loss of habitat of flora and fauna of the region.
Deforestation is the result of
urbanization, spread of agriculture lands, and implementation of multipurpose
river valley projects like construction of dams.
But collection of wood for fuel by
rural women do not destroy forests as they only collect dry and fallen wooden sticks.
