Which industry grows, manages and harvests trees?

• A. Forestry
• B. Horticulture
• C. Agronomy
• D. Viticulture

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is identifying the industry that handles trees through their entire lifecycle—from planting to harvest. Forestry covers growing trees (silviculture), managing forests for health and multiple uses, and harvesting them for timber and other forest products, all within a framework of sustainable practices.

This fits because it explicitly includes all three phases—growing, managing, and harvesting—of trees in a forest setting. The other fields focus on different plants or goals: horticulture deals with cultivated plants in gardens and landscapes; agronomy centers on soil and field crops like grains and legumes; viticulture is the cultivation of grapevines for wine. So forestry is the correct industry.
