Correct Answer: Trees

Solution : The correct option is Trees .

The Chipko Movement originated in the village of Mandal, in the state of Uttarakhand (then part of the state of Uttar Pradesh), India, in 1973. The movement was triggered by the government's decision to allow logging in the forests, which threatened the livelihoods of local communities dependent on the forests for sustenance and resources. The initial protests involved villagers hugging trees to prevent them from being felled, leading to the development of the broader Chipko Movement.
