    Solution

C- The plundering of natural resources including in the ecologically sensitive Western Ghats due to excessive blasting and mining has been well documented by committees, either appointed by the government or by the courts. Since ‘plundering’ is the subject, ‘has’ is correct. D- There is now a spurt in the quarrying volume in the Tirunelveli-Kanyakumari region to meet the huge demand from Kerala, where an estimated 80% of quarried materials is transported.
