  • B.Indian rose wood (Dalbergia latifolia), Sal (Shorea robusta); Casuarina (Casuarina equisetifolia), Kasod (Cassia siamea)

  • D.Deodar (Cedrus deodara), Teak (Tectona grandis), Indian rose wood (Dalbergia latifolia), Sal (Shorea robusta)

Answer: D

IS 3629-1986 groups the structural timbers by their suitability. The fourth option lists deodar, teak, Indian rosewood and sal, the group of timbers recommended for permanent structures, since they are strong, durable and resistant to decay. The other options include casuarina, kasod, satinwood and ebony, which are not in this list of timbers for permanent structures, and so mix in species that suit other uses.
