Answer:

A. Log and replant ¼ of the forest every 15 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • As SAM uses simulation technology to show the conservatory tactics that can preserve the forests and provide a sustainable source of food and wood as its already given that the simulation needs a regeneration rate of 60 years.
  • The tactics that would enable the fast regeneration and longevity of the forest preserves would be log and replant one-fourth of the forest in every fifteen years. Hence providing the most sustainable wood resource.
