Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

Dalbergia is the genus whose timber is commonly known as “true” rosewood; genuine rosewoods come from trees of the genus Dalbergia, including well-known species such as Dalbergia latifolia (Indian rosewood) and Dalbergia nigra (Brazilian rosewood) [1]. In India, Dalbergia sissoo (shisham) is a Dalbergia species valued for its hard, durable, polishable wood and is extensively used in furniture and other timber products, demonstrating the genus’s close association with rosewood-type timbers [2]. Therefore, among the options given, Dalbergia species are associated with rosewood (option 4).
