• D. They are deciduous trees and shed their leaves only in the month of July.

Answer 1

The correct option is A They are evergreen trees and do not shed their leaves at the same time.

The trees in the Equatorial forests are evergreen. They are known as evergreen forests as they do not shed their leaves all at the same time and the leaves shed regrow quickly due to the heavy rainfall seen in the region. The trees here are also 60 m tall and the woods obtained from these forests are hard and strong.
