This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

made from wood

The sentence talks about the material of paper, so the correct 'made ...' phrase depends on how the material relates to the product.

'Made of' is used when the original material is still recognisable in the finished object; 'made from' is used when the material has been changed so much that it is no longer obvious.

Paper is produced by breaking wood down into pulp, so the wood is chemically and physically transformed and is not recognisable in the paper.

Therefore the correct phrase is 'made from wood'.

'Made up of' (option 1's context) is used for components of a whole, such as 'a team made up of five players', so it does not fit a raw material.

'Made of wood' would suit an object like a table where the wood is still visible, not paper.

'Made up from wood' is not a standard collocation and is rejected.

The best replacement is made from wood.
