{'tropical forests': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'tropical deciduous forests': [1, 0, 1, 1], 'himalayan vegetation': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'tropical rainforests': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'himalayas': [5, 0, 3, 4], 'climatic conditions': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'types': [11, 3, 20, 23]}
The correct answer is option 3, "Both 1 and 2."
Statement 1 is correct because the vegetation in the Himalayas varies based on both altitude and climatic conditions. As one moves higher in altitude, the climate changes, resulting in different types of vegetation.
Statement 2 is also correct because there are two main types of tropical forests found in the Himalayas. These are the tropical rainforests, which receive heavy rainfall, and the tropical deciduous forests, which shed their leaves during the dry season.
Therefore, both statements are correct, making option 3 the correct answer.
