‘Chipko’ movement was basically against

Water pollution
Noise pollution
Deforestation
Cultural pollution

The correct answer is (c), deforestation.

The Chipko movement was a nonviolent resistance movement in India that started in the early 1970s. The movement was started by women who protested against the cutting of trees in their forests. The women hugged the trees to prevent them from being cut down. The movement was successful in stopping the deforestation in some areas.

Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (such as lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwater). It occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds. Water pollution can cause diseases in humans and animals, and can damage the environment.

Noise pollution is unwanted or excessive sound that can have harmful effects on human health and the environment. Sources of noise pollution include transportation, industry, construction and recreation. Noise pollution can cause hearing loss, stress, sleep disturbance and other health problems.

Cultural pollution is the destruction or alteration of a culture’s traditional values and beliefs. It can be caused by contact with other cultures, by the introduction of new technologies, or by the spread of globalization. Cultural pollution can lead to the loss of traditional languages, customs and practices.
