Solution
The correct option is B Tundra biome
Alpine region or tundra is a treeless area on high mountains (above 3500 meters), which has snow for long months. It is physiologically dry because liquid water is not available and most of the year most of the water is frozen into the snow. Hence, plants show xerophytism. Plants include Lichens, Mosses, grasses, herbs, small shrubs ( e.g., Artemesia, Primula, Arenaria, Anemone) and few scattered dwarf trees (e.g., Rhododendron, Abies, Juniperus, Picea).
Chapparal biome is broad-leaved scrub forest found in Mediterranean and Pacific coast of several countries. Trees of oak and Eucalyptus are abundant.
Savannahs are tropical grasslands with scattered shrubs and trees. Savannah is named after dominant trees like Acacia, Phoenix, Eucalyptus. Common trees of Indian savannas are Acacia, Butea, Prosopis, Zizyphus and Capparis.
Needle-like temperate biome or conifers have Pinus, Deodar, Cypress and Spruce trees, while temperate broadleaf forests are dominated by oak trees. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
