Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) Raising trees on common village lands

For explanation I would say: Social forestry is the raising and exploitation of small forests on common village lands, roadsides, railway embankments and other vacant lands by groups of people for obtaining their requirements of firewood, fodder and minor timber at very low cost.
