Question

In the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu, the dry weather and poor soil allows only __________ to grow.

• A. Sandal wood
• B. Fruit bearing trees
• C. Casuarina trees
• D. Tropical evergreen forests

Answer 1

The correct option is C Casuarina trees

Casuarina trees can grow in hot weather conditions and can tolerate up to 47°C especially in coastal areas, whereas in inland areas the growth would be poor in extreme temperatures.

Hence, in the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu, the dry weather and poor soil allows only Casuarina trees to grow.

So, option C is the correct answer.
