Solution

The correct option is D Pinus wallichiana
Temperate needle leaf or coniferous forests or taiga forests occur in temperate areas (mostly northern hemisphere and some parts of New Zealand), with precipitation both as snow and rainfall (variable). Pinus wallichiana is commonly found. They are adapted to severe cold winters. The needle like leaves lose very little water in transpiration. Being green they continue to manufacture food throughout the year. Thus they are evergreen trees.
