Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option 4: 1- C, 2- B, 3- D, 4- A
| 1. | Chipko movement | C.Preventing trees from getting cut | |
| 2. | Solar power | B.Photovoltaic cells | |
| 3. | Mini-hydel plants | D.Energy from streams | |
| 4. | Increased population level | A.Stress on the environment | |
Chipko movement was a forest conservation movement in India. The movement originated in 1973 at the Himalayan region of Uttarakhand.
With the help of "Photovoltaic cells", the solar energy was converted into electricity.
Mini-hydel plants used the energy of streams to move small turbines, which helped in the generation of electricity.
Rise in the population level resulted in increased environmental stress.
