The correct answer is "option-2: 2 only". Let`s analyze each statement to understand why.

Statement 1: "Rural forestry aims to raise the trees on community land and on privately owned land."

This statement is incorrect. Rural forestry aims to raise trees primarily on community land, but not necessarily on privately owned land. The focus is on developing and managing forests in rural areas to provide ecological, social, and economic benefits to the local communities.

Statement 2: "Farm forestry encourages individual farmers to plant trees on their own farmland to meet the domestic need of the family."

This statement is correct. Farm forestry promotes the planting of trees on farmland by individual farmers. The objective is to fulfill the family`s domestic needs, such as timber, fuelwood, fodder, and other products, while also providing environmental benefits.

Therefore, only statement 2 is correct, and the correct answer is "option-2: 2 only."
