(B) All North-eastern states and parts of Gujarat
These regions have a very high percentage of their forests as unclassed forests, managed by local communities.
The answer is directly stated in the textbook passage: "All North-eastern states and parts of Gujarat have a very high percentage of their forests as unclassed forests managed by local communities." Students must remember that unclassed forests belong to both government and private individuals/communities — unlike reserved or protected forests which are managed by the Forest Department.
