The term 'Open Forest' is defined in the India State of Forest Report, 2021 as

  • A.forest land cover with tree canopy more than 70%
  • B.forest land cover with tree canopy 40% to 70%
  • C.forest land cover with tree canopy less than 10%
  • D.forest land cover with tree canopy 10% to 40%

Answer: D

Open Forest is forest land with tree canopy density of 10% to 40%.

The India State of Forest Report classifies forest cover by canopy density: very dense forest has a canopy density of 70% and above, moderately dense forest 40% to 70%, and open forest 10% to 40%. Land with canopy density below 10% (degraded forest land) is classed as scrub, not as forest cover.

So 'more than 70%' describes very dense forest, '40% to 70%' moderately dense forest, and 'less than 10%' scrub, which leaves 10% to 40% for open forest.
