    1. The total forest+tree cover is 15% of area
    2. Top-3 RFA states: Jharkhand, A&N, Manipur

    Show answer

    Answer: D — More than one of the above

    Per ISFR 2023, forest+tree cover is actually ~25% (not 15%) of area, and the top RFA states are actually MP/Arunachal/Chhattisgarh (not as listed) — so none of A-C is fully accurate on its own, hence 'more than one' being wrong is itself the correct pick per the key.
