Solution

The correct option is C Alpine forest
  • Alpine plants are plants that grow in an alpine climate, which occurs at high elevation.
  • Alpine plants must adapt to the harsh conditions of the alpine environment, which include low temperatures, dryness, ultraviolet radiation, and a short growing season.
  • These trees cover a large part of the temperate region of the Himalayan ranges.
  • The conifer species are spread across a major part of varying altitudes. The few example are cedar, blue pine and spruce etc. Each of the upper coniferous belts has its unique oak characteristic which provides acorns to rodents and birds.
  • Most alpine plants are faced with low-temperature extremes at some point in their lives. There are a number of ways that a plant can survive these extremes.
