Solution
The correct option is B Red Sandalwood
The wattle is the national flower of Australia, its gold flowers representing their mineral wealth. Red sandalwood is used for treating digestive tract problems found in India. Boronia oil is farmed in some parts of Australia, used as a food flavouring and scent, also in perfumes and sold as an aromatherapy oil. About 80 per cent of forests in Australia are eucalypt forests or forests in which gum trees are the dominant but not the only species.
