(c) Both (a) and (b)
(d) None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is...

✔ c) Both (a) and (b)

Explanation ⦂

✎... The reason for the problem of displacement is the construction of dams for development work and declaring forest areas as sanctuaries for animals.

In the process of development, dams are constructed at different places, due to which the people of nearby villages in that area have to be displaced. Apart from this, for the protection of animals, some forest areas have been declared as reserves by making sanctuaries for animals. Due to this the residents of that area also have to be displaced.
