Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Sacred groves of India are fragments of forests which are of varying sizes, are communally protected, and generally, have a significant religious connotation for the protecting community. In these areas hunting and logging are usually strictly prohibited. Thus, rare endangered and endemic taxa can be found intact and flourishing in these places.

So, the correct answer is 'Sacred groves'.
