Answer: Option E
Explanation:
Clearly, trees play a vital role in
maintaining ecological balance and so must be preserved. So, argument I holds.
Also, trees form the basic source of timber and a complete ban on cutting of
trees would harm timber based industries. So, only a controlled cutting of
trees should be allowed and the loss replenished by planting more trees. So,
argument II is also valid.
