(b) Rural development

(c) Animals conflict

(d) Desertification

The question was posed to me during an interview for a job.

I need to ask this question from Biogeographic Classification of India in division Biodiversity of Energy Management

Answer 1

The correct answer is (d) Desertification

For explanation I would say: Desertification is one of the major ecological problems facing by the semi-arid zone. The continuous expansion of deserts, into the previously semi-arid regions is indeed a serious manifestation of the effects of land degradation and intensive soil erosion.
