Solution

The correct option is D Tropics
Hardwoods may be divided into ring-porous and diffuse-porous trees. In ring-porous trees the vessels laid down at the beginning of the growing season are much larger than subsequent vessels laid down at the end of the season. Diffuse-porous trees form vessels of roughly the same radial diameter throughout the growing season. Larger vessel size permits more-rapid water conduction, because the rate of conduction varies with the fourth power of the radius of the vessel lumen.
Most ring-porous trees are found in the north temperate areas of the world.
Most diffuse porous trees are found in the tropical regions.
