Answer 1

The correct option is B <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Deciduous

The trees tend to lose water through a process called transpiration. In the dry season, trees of deciduous forests prefer to shed their leaves and avoid loss of water through transpiration.
