The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
The question asks for a "tonewood"—a species with specific acoustic properties used in musical instrument manufacturing.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:


• Toona ciliata (A): Known as Red Cedar or Indian Cedar. Its wood is light, durable, and has excellent resonance. It is the most popular Indian wood for the bodies of sitars and guitars.

• Other Options:
- Dalbergia latifolia (B): Rosewood is used for guitar *fretboards* because it's hard, but not for the main body resonance like Toon.
- Deodar (D): Used for construction and sleepers, not instruments.

Step 3: Final Answer:

Toona ciliata is highly suitable for guitar making.
