  1. Which one of the following tree is considered to be an environmental hazard?
    1. Babbol
    2. Amaltas
    3. Neem
    4. Eucalyptus
Correct Option: D

Eucalyptus is considered to be an environmental hazard as it depletes ground water table. Eucalyptus species consume more water than others, less productive species. Growing eucalyptus in low rainfall areas may cause adverse environmental impacts due to competition for water with other species and an increased incidence of allelopathy which means killing of other plants.
