The correct answer is A) Shimoga.
Shimoga is a district in the Indian state of Karnataka. It is located in the northern part of the state and is bordered by the districts of Uttara Kannada, Dharwad, Haveri, Chitradurga, and Bellary. The district has a population of over 2.5 million people and is the second most populous district in Karnataka.
The district is home to a number of tribal communities, including the Soliga, Kadu Kuruba, and Halakki. These communities have a long history of living in the forests of Shimoga and have traditionally depended on the forests for their livelihood.
In recent years, there have been a number of movements for forest rights by tribal communities in Shimoga. These movements have been led by organizations such as the Karnataka Adivasi Aikya Vedike (KAV) and the Samata Sainik Dal (SSD). The movements have been demanding that the government recognize the traditional rights of tribal communities to the forests and that they be given a greater say in the management of the forests.
The movements have been successful in getting the government to recognize some of the traditional rights of tribal communities. However, there are still a number of issues that need to be addressed. These include the need for the government to provide more support to tribal communities in the form of education, healthcare, and employment opportunities.
The other options are incorrect because they are not districts in Karnataka.
