Which type of forest covers the maximum area inside the recorded forest area of Madhya Pradesh?
Answer: C
The keyed answer is Moderately dense forest.
The question is restricted to the recorded forest area, the land legally recorded as forest (reserved, protected and similar forests), where the better-stocked forest is concentrated. The key says moderately dense forest, canopy 40 to 70 per cent, covers the most of it. Across the whole state, including forest outside the recorded area, the position is different: the forest survey of 2021 reports about 34,200 sq km moderately dense against about 36,600 sq km open forest, with only about 6,700 sq km very dense, which is why open forest looks like the answer if the restriction is missed.
What could not be confirmed is the breakdown inside the recorded forest area itself, so that part rests on the official key. Very dense forest is the smallest class, and 'light forest' is not a class used in the survey.
