Model Answer

D – Madhya Pradesh

Madhya Pradesh has the maximum area under permanent forests in India.

Explanation

This is a standard factual question from Chapter 1 (Resources and Development). The source passage mentions MP as rich in minerals, coal, and forests. Remember: Punjab and Haryana have over 80% net sown area (not forest cover), making D the correct choice.
