Reclamation of mined areas aims to:

Restore the land
Prevent erosion
Promote reforestation
All of the above

The correct answer is: D) All of the above

Reclamation of mined areas aims to restore the land, prevent erosion, and promote reforestation.

  • Restoring the land involves returning the land to a condition that is as close as possible to its original state before mining. This may include removing any mining debris, grading the land, and planting new vegetation.
  • Preventing erosion is important to protect the land from being damaged by wind and water. This can be done by planting trees and shrubs, and by building terraces and other structures to hold the soil in place.
  • Promoting reforestation helps to restore the natural ecosystem of the area. Trees provide habitat for wildlife, and they also help to filter the air and water.

Reclamation is an important part of the mining process. It helps to protect the environment and to ensure that the land can be used for other purposes in the future.
