Solution

The correct option is B Sold trees for profit
The forest dwellers traded forest produce such as salt and iron, but they did not cut trees and sell its wood for profit. Although the adivasis cleared forests for cultivation, it was done in a more sustainable way - they left large areas of forest cover untouched.
