• B. National Integrated Protected Areas System Act of 1992
• C. Land Administration and Decree
• D. Forestry Management Act

Answer: (A)

PD 705 is the Forestry Code of the Philippines written as the Revised Forestry Code of the Philippines. This presidential decree brings together and updates the country’s forestry laws into one comprehensive framework for forest management, protection, and utilization. The name signals that it revised earlier forestry statutes and serves as the main reference for forestry policy. The other options refer to different laws: the act on protected areas, a non-existent or misnamed land administration decree, and a non-existent “Forestry Management Act.”
