SSC CPO 14th-March-2019-Shift-2

30.2%

21.67%

24.39%

26.4%

Let’s break it down:

- Option 1: 30.2% — This number actually matches later ISFR reports (like ISFR 2021), not the 2017 data.

- Option 2: 21.67% — This was close to India’s forest cover alone, excluding tree cover, in earlier years.

- Option 3: 24.39% — This is the correct figure for total forest and tree cover as a percentage of India’s geographical area in the ISFR 2017.

- Option 4: 26.4% — Not tied to the 2017 numbers; could cause confusion, so not right for this context.

So, your best bet is option 3, which directly matches the ISFR 2017 findings.
