Green wars i.e. wars against nature, wars with poisonous gases and wars with firearms are the different kinds of war. 'Green wars' means wars against the environment. Warring nations keep on developing new 'weapons' to wage war against the environment.

Answer 2

The poet means War against the environment by mentioning the term Green wars. (Option c)

• The poet means War against the environment by mentioning the term Green wars.
• The given phrase is taken from the poem Keeping Quiet.
• The poet refers to biological weapons and activities that pollute the environment.
• Moreover, the contradiction lies between the two words green and wars.
• However, the excessive use of natural resources for human advancement and the generation of waste products, poisonous gases, etc., from industrial activities are harmful to the earth's environment.
• Thus, by indulging in such activities, humans are waging a war on the environment.
• It also damages the environment and ultimately harms humans. Hence, the poet calls these activities green wars.
