Solution
The correct option is D Tectona grandis
Teak is a tropical hardwood tree of species Tectona grandis. The species is placed in the family Lamiaceae. Tectona grandis is a large, deciduous tree that is dominant in mixed hardwood forests. It has small, fragrant white flowers and papery leaves that are often hairy on the lower surface. Teak wood has a leather-like smell when it is freshly milled. Teak timber is particularly valued for its durability and water resistance and is used for boat building, exterior construction, veneer, furniture, carving, turnings and other small wood projects. Teak's high oil content, high tensile strength and tight grain makes it particularly suitable for outdoor furniture applications.
