The correct option is C
Rajasthan
Sunlight is the primary source of energy for all life forms on earth. Since the tropical region is exposed to more sunlight than any other region, the area receives an abundance of solar energy, which promotes the growth of plants. As the flora of a region expands in number, the fauna also expands, as an abundance of vegetation apparently, makes it a favourable habitat to live in.
