Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) Creation of mini forests in urban areas
The Miyawaki technique, devised by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, involves planting many native saplings close together to build very dense, self-sustaining ‘mini-forests’, especially in small urban plots. It is not connected with commercial farming, GM gardens or wind-energy projects. Hence option (c) is correct.
