Solution
The correct option is B Amrita Devi Bishnoi Amrita Devi Bishnoi laid down her life to protect the Khejri trees in her village. The King of Jodhpur, Abhay Singh ordered Khejri trees to be cut down to construct his palace. She and her children were beheaded as they hugged the trees and stood strong. This ignited the rest of the Bishnoi community to fight against it, and the King had to take back his order.
