Option 4 : Khejri

The correct answer is Khejri.

Khejri tree is also known by the name Shami tree.
The scientific name of Khajeri Tree is Prosopis cineraria.
Khejri covers about two-thirds of the total geographical area of Rajasthan.
It is also the state tree of Rajasthan.
The tree is known by different names across the western and northern regions of India.
- Shami in Maharastra & Uttar Pradesh
- Jammi in Telangana
- Khijro in Gujarat
- Janti in Haryana
- Jand in Punjab.

In 1730 AD, the village of Khejarli near Jodhpur in Rajasthan was the scene of a violent environmental confrontation.
Amrita Devi and her three young daughters gave their lives in an attempt to protect some Khejri trees which Maharaja Abhay Singh had ordered cut to make way for his new palace.
This led to widespread defiance in which 363 people were killed trying to save the trees.
In the 1970s memory of this sacrifice led to the start of the Chipko movement.
