Solution

The correct option is B Building of dam
Save Silent Valley is a social movement launched to protect an evergreen tropical forest in the Palaghat district of Kerala. It started in 1973 to save silent valley reserve forest and stop construction of Dam (Hydroelectric Project) in the Valley. There has been massive environmental debates to save the endangered wildlife having natural habitat in the valley. It was declared as Silent Valley National Park later in 1984.
