Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
In general, businesses have a hierarchy of responsibilities to meet, ranging from the basic (making a profit) to the benevolent (benefiting society). Here are some examples:
  • Economic Responsibilities - A business exists to make a profit for shareholders. If it fails to do so, it likely won’t be able to pay its employees, taxes and other obligations. A corporate social responsibility program (CSR program) cannot be implemented until a business is profitable.
  • Legal Responsibilities - Following the law is the foundation of corporate responsibility. A company cannot benefit society if it does not adhere to labor and tax laws or applicable industry regulations.
  • Ethical Responsibilities - Once a company is profitable and meets its legal responsibilities, it can move up the ladder to ethical responsibilities, which might include paying higher wages, offering employees better benefits, avoiding trade with unscrupulous companies or providing jobs to those who would otherwise have difficulty finding work.
  • Philanthropic Responsibilities - As a company meets its economic, legal and ethical responsibilities, it can consider taking on philanthropic responsibilities. Corporate philanthropy ranges in size and scope, and can include everything from donating time to a local charity to building a children’s hospital.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Forests cover about a third of the earth’s land area and are essential to the health of our environment. For example, trees and forests absorb and store much of the carbon dioxide that otherwise would be contributing to climate change. Forests are home to about $80$ percent of remaining terrestrial biodiversity. Forests also regulate water cycles, maintain soil quality, and reduce the risks of natural disasters such as floods.Forest ecosystems are sources of wood and timber, of edible products including mushrooms and other fungi, meat (from wildlife), forage for livestock, fruit or honey. Some forest species have medicinal values.

Forests provide habitat for wildlife and they affect the volume and timing of water flowing out of the forested area as well as rates of soil formation or erosion.
Forests are one of a number of important elements in the global cycling of carbon, oxygen, and other gases of importance which influences the composition of the earth’s atmosphere

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The British introduced scientific management of forests through a centralized approach to forest management and development. The first formal government approach to forestry can be traced to the enactment of the National Forest Policy of $1894$ which stressed on conserving forests for maintaining environmental stability and meeting basic needs of fringe forest user groups. The policy was revised in $1952$ and the new policy emphasized on an extension of forests beyond the traditional forest areas. This gave impetus to social forestry and $agro/farm$ forestry. This policy was the harbinger of the green movement in the country. It also proposed that $60$% of the land in the hills and $20$% in the plains and in all $33$% of the total geographical area should be under forest/tree cover.The National Forest Policy was once again revised in $1988,$ which envisaged community involvement in the protection and regeneration of forests. It accorded highest priority to sustainable management of the forest resource.
