Solution

The correct option is C Chipko movement
Chipko movement was started in nineteen seventees in a small hilly village of the upper area of Himalayas. Tribal people of Tehri-Garhwal district of Uttarakhand realised the importance of forests and decided against giving its products to the people of other areas. Chipko movement spread slowly to all nearby areas under the leadership of Shri Sunderlal Bahuguna.
Narmada Bachao Andolan was a protest against construction of large dams and GAP was introduced to reduce the pollution in river Ganga.
