Model Answer

The correct answer is (B) Tehri.

The "Beej-Bachao Andolan" (Save the Seeds Movement) was started by farmers in the Tehri region of Uttarakhand.

Explanation

This fact is not directly covered in the source passages provided, but it is a well-known point from the NCERT Class 10 Geography Chapter 4 (Agriculture). The Beej-Bachao Andolan was a grassroots movement by farmers in Tehri, Uttarakhand, aimed at preserving traditional/indigenous seed varieties without the use of chemical fertilisers. Examiners expect students to recall this specific location. Do not confuse it with the Chipko Movement (associated with Chamoli/Uttarakhand broadly) or the Bhoodan-Gramdan Movement.
