Answer 1

Required Answer:

${\underline {\boxed {\Large {\bf \gray { Option \: B \: (Forestry) } }}}}$

Explanation:-

Correct option is “Forestry”.

Ladakh is a cold, dry and a barren desert. And due to cold climate and scanty rainfall, vegetation is less. Also, ladakh is situated on the leeward side of the Himalayas in the rain-shadow region and hence, gets very less rainfall.

Because of these all conditions, forestry isn't possible in Ladakh and hence , an occupation which is not common in Ladakh is Forestry.

About the occupations of Ladakh:

$\longmapsto$ Animal Rearing : As ladakh experiences cold climate, so some animals like Yaks, sheep , goats are reared to get wool (from yaks and sheep) , milk, meat (from goat).

$\longmapsto$ Cultivation : Though ladakh has cold climate but cultivation is practiced during summer months from May to September.

Horticulture is the most common in cultivation practiced in Ladakh.

$\longmapsto$ Tourism : Tourism has developed as an important economic activity in Ladakh. Ladakh has beautiful mountainous landscape, glaciers and traditional festivals that attract tourists from all over the world.
