Solution

The correct option is D Before the onset of dry season
The leaves of the trees in the tropical deciduous forest have a tendency to lose water. During the dry season, when it does not rain, the water is scarce. Hence, the deciduous trees shed their leaves before the onset of the dry season to prevent water loss.

About 65% of the forests in India are tropical deciduous forests.
