Solution

The correct option is C E.P. Stebbing

Edward Percy Stebbing was a pioneering British forester and forest entomologist in India. He was among the first to warn of desertification and desiccation and wrote on "The Forests of India". In 1923, he wrote of the "desert whose power is incalculable and whose silent and almost invisible approach must be difficult to estimate."
