(c) By both (a) & (b)

Explanation:

Chipko movement is also called the Chipko andolan which literally means "to hug". Sunderlal Bahuguna, a noted environmentalist, started the Chipko Movement in the 1970s. The movement is aimed at protecting trees and forests slated for government-backed logging. The men and women of the surrounding villages joined the movement and many villagers began to guard the forests. They used to fast in protest and hug the trees to prevent them from being felled. The contract was withdrawn and the forests were saved as result of this movement.
