D Correct answer
Explanation

Option (1) doesn't seem to make sense, and some might be prompted to mark it incorrect usage of term ash. But the word 'ash' here refers to a variety of tree of genus fraxinus. So, it is perfectly correct. Options (2) and (3) can easily be marked as correct options. Option (4) is marked incorrect because of word 'in' instead of 'to'.
