Explanation:

- The passage discusses different scenarios of environmental changes in various regions of India.

- It shows contrasting situations: Andhra Pradesh's soil aridity, Himachal Pradesh's desertification crisis, and Rajasthan's increase in green cover due to certain practices.

- Option 1: "lead"

- "Lead" is present tense, which doesn't fit as the sentence refers to past results.

- Option 2: "led"

- "Led" is the correct past tense of "lead," suiting the context of completed actions leading to green cover increase.

- Correct answer: This describes the result of actions taken in the past.

- Option 3: "leading"

- "Leading" implies an ongoing process, inappropriate here as it should describe concluded events.

- Option 4: "leads"

- "Leads" is present tense and not suitable since the sentence talks about past outcomes.
