Solution

The correct option is D Tropical thorn forest and scrubs
Tropical thorn forests and scrubs are found in the regions with less than 70cm of rainfall. The natural vegetation consists of thorny trees and bushes. Trees are scattered and have long roots penetrating deep into the soil to get moisture. The stems are succulent to conserve water. Leaves are mostly thick and small to minimize evaporation.
