Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 2 : Teak

Explanation

The most timber is obtained from teak because it has the following properties:

1. Wood obtained from it is hard and strong and not resinous.

2. All woods contain oil (sapwood). Teak can retain these oils even after being felled and processed. Because of this, teak has greater weather-resistant properties.

3. Resistance against white ants.

4. It is durable and fire-resistant.

5. It does not allow the corrosion of iron fastenings.

6. Seasoning of teak wood is very easy and it is easily workable.

Teak Wood, being water-resistant and having a denser structure, is considered more durable than Sheesham

Sheesham wood is prone to moisture due to the higher water percentage. Also, Sheesham tends to warp under humid conditions.

Clearly teak Wood is more valuable
