Answer: A
Forest cover means land of more than one hectare with tree canopy density of more than 10%.
The India State of Forest Report defines forest cover as all lands more than one hectare in area with a tree canopy density of more than 10 per cent, irrespective of ownership, legal status or land use. It is further divided into very dense (70% and above), moderately dense (40-70%) and open forest (10-40%).
20%, 30% and 40% are not the threshold; 40% is the lower limit of moderately dense forest, which is a likely source of confusion.
