Answer: A
The first Inspector General of Forests was Dietrich Brandis.
Brandis, a German botanist who had organised the teak forests of Burma, was appointed the first Inspector General of Forests of India in 1864. He laid the foundations of scientific forestry in India, drafted the early forest legislation and helped establish forestry training at Dehradun.
William Schlich succeeded him as Inspector General in 1883, and B. Ribbentrop followed; F. Bailey ran the forest school at Dehradun. None of them was the first.
