Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is B. 1559 sq km.
According to the India State of Forest Report 2019, the total forest cover of Haryana is 1559 sq km, which is 10.1% of the state’s geographical area. This is an increase of 0.2% from the previous report. The major forest types in Haryana are dry deciduous forests, thorn forests, and scrub forests. The state’s forests are home to a variety of wildlife, including tigers, leopards, sloth bears, and deer.
