Explanation by: Admin

The Nilgiri Hills are well-known for their Eucalyptus plantations.

Eucalyptus trees were introduced by the British in the 19th century for timber and oil production.

These trees grow well in the cool and moist climate of the Nilgiris.


Other Options Explained:

(A) Sal – Mostly found in central and eastern India.

(B) Pine – Grows in Himalayan regions, not common in Nilgiris.

(D) Teak – Found in tropical forests, but not as dominant in Nilgiris as Eucalyptus.


Thus, the correct answer is (C) Eucalyptus.
