Read the following passage and based on your understanding, answer the following questions(86-89)

The traditional concept of forestry, focused on distant, government-protected reserves, is no longer sufficient to meet the dual challenges ofenvironmental degradation and ruralpoverty. Thishas led to the emergence of"Social Forestry,"a practice thatinvolves the management and protection offorests and the reforestation ofbarren lands with the specific purpose of helping environmental and social development. Unlike commercial forestry, which prioritises timber for industry, social forestry focuses on providing"the five F's":Fuel, Food, Fodder, Fibre, and Fertiliser.

The primary objective of social forestry is to reduce the mounting pressure on traditional forest areas. As the rural population grows, the demand for fuelwood and cattle fodder often forces villagers to exploit natural forests, leading to massive deforestation. By planting fast-growing trees on communal lands, along railway tracks, and on road embankments, social forestry creates a localised resource base. This not only preserves the ecological balance but also empowers local communities by directly involving them in decision-making and harvesting processes.

Furthermore, social forestry serves as a critical tool for soil conservation and carbon sequestration. In areas where agricultural land is prone to erosion, strategic tree planting acts as a windbreak and stabilises the topsoil. While the environmental benefits are clear, the success of these programs hinges on"people's participation."Without the active involvement ofthe local population in protecting saplings and managing resources, the long-term sustainability of these green patches remains in jeopardy.

86. What is the central distinction between commercial forestry and social forestry?

A) The type of soil required for planting.

B) The focus on local community needs versus industrial timber.

C) The involvement of government officials in management.

D) The geographical location ofthe forest reserves.

87. How does the author's description ofthe"five F's"serve the overall argument of the passage?

A) It provides a technical classification for botanical study.

B) It illustrates the shift from an industrial priority to a subsistence priority.
