Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Strict legal protection within the reserve, ban on poaching, monitoring of the reserve by forest officials, and effective habitat management
Tiger numbers in India have risen significantly in protected reserves due to a combination of measures: strict anti-poaching patrols, monitoring with camera traps, habitat restoration, regulating tourism, and limiting human encroachment. Project Tiger (1973) is one of the world's largest species-recovery programmes and is the framework behind these reserves.
