A Correct answer
Explanation

In Hindu philosophy, trees and plants hold sacred significance because of the belief that planting and nurturing them can result in spiritual merit for the planter. The correct answer (A) reflects the traditional Hindu belief that trees cared for by a person may be reborn as their children in the next life, creating a karmic bond. While trees do provide practical benefits like shade and fruits (B), these are material reasons, not the primary religious/philosophical importance in Hindu culture. Option C is factually incorrect (planting trees requires effort), and D is an environmental benefit rather than the religious reason.
