Answer 1

The correct option is D Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is the correct explanation for statement 1.

It rains heavily in the equatorial region, and thick forests can be found in this region. These forests have grown so thick that the leaves and branches act like a roof that makes it difficult for most of the sunlight to reach the ground. Hence the ground remains almost permanently in darkness.
