Correct Answer: nearly three-fourths


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

The phrase relatively three-fourth is incorrect and should be replaced with nearly three-fourths , which improves the sentence. It helps convey that almost three-fourths of the forest area has been planted with Sal trees. Nearly clarifies the approximation or the extent of the planting in relation to the forest area.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Sal trees have been planted in nearly three-fourths of the forest area."
