Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A

They are adapted to the cold environment.

B

It looks good.

In hilly areas, most of the trees are evergreen. They have narrow needle-like leaves to protect them from damage. Hill stations are so cold that the ground freezes during winter months. Because of this, the trees are not able to get water. Needle-like leaves of these trees help to conserve water.
