The correct answer is – B: Sacred Grove protected by Devotees Devrai (or sacred grove) refers to patches of forest protected by local communities due to their religious and cultural significance, dedicated to a deity, where logging and hunting are traditionally prohibited, preserving biodiversity, water resources, and traditional ecological knowledge. Originating from the Marathi words “Dev” (God) and “Rai” (forest), these groves act as natural gene banks, housing rare species and maintaining local ecosystems, embodying a sustainable, nature-centric worldview.
