Solution
The correct options are A Tropical B Temperate Deciduous trees are generally the trees and shrubs which shed leaves generally in autumn. They also shed petals after flowering and shed fruits. Deciduous forests are generally found in two regions worldwide.
1. Tropical and Subtropical forests: Here the trees shed leaves based on rainfall patterns. shedding of leaves is not seasonal but may happen at any time in the year. e.g. northeastern part of Deccan plateau, lower slopes of Himalayas.
2. Temperate forests: Here the trees shed leaves in winter. e.g. Bihar, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh.
So the correct answer is both 'Tropical and Temperature'.
