The correct option is D 1, 2 and 3

Explanation:

Tropical Evergreen Forests: These are also called tropical rainforests. These thick forests occur in the regions near the Equator and close to the Tropics. These regions are hot and receive heavy rainfall throughout the year. As there is no particular dry season, the trees do not shed their leaves altogether. This is the reason they are called evergreen. The thick canopies of the closely spaced trees do not allow the sunlight to penetrate inside the forests even in the daytime.
