Directions (Q. Nos. 145 to 150): Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow by selecting the most appropriate option.
Our consumption of palm oil is rocketing : Commitments from various governments to increase the amount of bio fuels being sold are pushing this rise in demand, because they’re seen as an attractive quick fix to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. India wanted 20 per cent of its diesel to be biodiesel by 2012.

But this phenomenal growth of the palm oil industry spells disaster for local communities, biodiversity, and climate change as palm plantations encroach further and further into forested areas where the emission of greenhouse gases is largely due to deforestation. For example, much of the current and predicted oil palm expansion is taking place on forested ‘peat lands’.
