Concept:Sustainable forest management protects, regenerates, and wisely uses forest resources.
Deliberately destroying forests is the opposite of management.
Explanation:Taungya farming is an agroforestry practice where farmers grow crops among young trees.
It helps in natural regeneration and reduces pressure on forest land.
Selective exploitation means cutting only mature or selected trees.
This allows the remaining trees to grow and the forest to recover.
Preventing bush burning stops accidental or intentional fires that destroy young trees and soil nutrients.
These three measures all support sustainable forest management.
Promoting deforestation means actively encouraging the clearing of forest cover.
This leads to loss of timber, wildlife habitats, soil erosion, and climate change.
Therefore, it cannot be considered a management measure.
Answer:C. promoting deforestation
