Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1  i.e. necessary.

  • The word "necessary" fits the context as it implies that authorities must take essential, required, or needed measures to ensure a part of the town or city is allocated to plant trees.
  • The other options, like "time-consuming," "lethargic," or "glamorous," do not convey the idea of taking essential or required steps, so they are not suitable in this context.

Hence, the correct option would be necessary.
