1 only
B
2 and 3 only
C
1 and 3 only
Correct Answer
D
1, 2 and 3
Explanation
Tropical Wet Evergreen Forests occur in Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram because these North-Eastern states receive high annual rainfall (>200 cm) and maintain the warm, humid climate necessary for such vegetation. Himachal Pradesh is incorrect because its high-altitude Himalayan location results in a temperate-to-alpine climate, supporting coniferous and moist temperate forests rather than tropical ones. The core concept tested is the distribution of India’s natural vegetation and its correlation with specific climatic factors like precipitation and temperature.
