Solution
The correct option is B Tropical Deciduous Forest
In the dry season, tropical deciduous trees prefer to shed their leaves and avoid loss of water through transpiration. This helps them to conserve water during the dry season. This goes on for about six to eight weeks in the summer. The word deciduous actually means “tending to fall off”. These leaves then grow back during the monsoon season, and that’s why they are also called monsoon forests. These forests are the most widespread forests in India and are found in regions that receive between 70 cm to 200 cm of rainfall every year.
