Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the code given below the Lists
(Region) | (Characteristic Vegetation)
A. Selvas | 1. Mosses & Lichens
B. Savanas | 2. Epiphytes
C. Tundra | 3. Tropophytes
D. Monsoon Lands | 4. Grasses & trees
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 (A-2, B-4, C-1, D-3). This matching accurately reflects the relationship between climatic regions and their dominant vegetation types.
- A-2 (Selvas - Epiphytes): Selvas are equatorial rainforests characterized by dense, multi-layered canopies. Due to the lack of sunlight at the floor, epiphytes (plants growing on others for support) are highly prevalent.
- B-4 (Savanas - Grasses & trees): The Savana is a tropical grassland ecosystem defined by a continuous grass layer interspersed with scattered, drought-resistant trees.
- C-1 (Tundra - Mosses & Lichens): The harsh, cold Arctic climate prevents tree growth. Vegetation is limited to mosses and lichens that can survive the permafrost.
- D-3 (Monsoon Lands - Tropophytes): Monsoon vegetation consists of tropophytes—plants that adapt to seasonal extremes (wet and dry) by shedding leaves during the distinct dry season to conserve water.
Other options are incorrect as they misidentify these distinct ecological adaptations, such as placing mosses in Selvas or epiphytes in Monsoon lands.
