Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A

Explanation

The correct matching of forest types with their characteristic species is as follows:

  • Tropical Moist Forest (A-4): Rosewood (Dalbergia latifolia) is a high-value timber species found in tropical moist deciduous and evergreen forests, particularly in the Western Ghats.
  • Littoral and Swamp Forest (B-3): Sonneratia is a genus of mangrove trees typical of the littoral and swamp ecosystems found along India's coastlines and deltas.
  • Tropical Thorn Forest (C-2): Khair (Acacia catechu) is a drought-resistant tree characteristic of the semi-arid thorn forests of North-West India.
  • Alpine Forest (D-1): Kail (Pinus wallichiana), also known as Blue Pine, is found in the higher altitudes of the Himalayan temperate and sub-alpine zones.

Thus, the correct sequence is 4-3-2-1, making option A the correct answer.
