1. Tropical deciduous forest
2. Tropical rain forest
3. Temperate deciduous forest
4. Desert shrubs

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Tropical rain forest

The correct answer is Tropical rain forest.

​

• The tropical rainforest is a luxuriant forest found in wet tropical uplands and lowlands around the Equator.
• These forests are dominated by broad-leaved trees that form a dense upper canopy (layer of foliage) and contain a diverse array of vegetation and other life. 

• A biome that has many deciduous trees that drop their leaves in the fall is a temperate deciduous forest. As the trees have large, flat leaves, these forests are also known as broad-leaf forests.
• Tropical deciduous forests are found in the tropical region of the country.
• These forests are also called the Monsoon forests because the trees in these forests shed their leaves during the dry season.
• The tropical deciduous forests thrive in a moderately heated temperature of thirty-degree Celsius and mostly lie in countries like South Africa, Central America, Africa, and India.
• In India, Tropical Deciduous Forests are found in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and parts of Maharashtra.
• Tropical Deciduous Forests can be branched into two categories based on their humidity factors and availability of water:
  • Moist Deciduous Forests
  • Dry Deciduous Forest
