The correct answer is: B. 30%
Sal forests are a type of tropical dry deciduous forest that are found in the Indian subcontinent. They are characterized by their tall, straight trees with dense foliage. Sal forests are an important source of timber and fuelwood, and they also play a role in watershed protection and climate regulation.
Chhattisgarh is a state in central India that is home to a large area of sal forests. According to the Forest Survey of India, approximately 30% of the forest area in Chhattisgarh is under sal forest. This makes Chhattisgarh one of the states with the highest proportion of sal forest in India.
The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the actual proportion of sal forest in Chhattisgarh. Option A (20%) is too low, while options C (40%), D (50%), and E (45%) are too high.
