Explanation

The question requires matching Mediterranean-type shrubland vegetation with their specific geographic regions. Chaparral is the term used for this sclerophyllous vegetation in North America, specifically California [1]. Maquis (or macchia) refers to the dense shrublands found in the Mediterranean Basin, including Southern Europe (France and Italy) [1]. Fynbos is the distinctive shrubland biome located in the Western Cape region of South Africa [1]. Mallee scrub (or mallee) is the characteristic vegetation found in the Mediterranean climatic zones of Southern and Southwestern Australia, often dominated by Eucalyptus species [2]. Therefore, the correct matching sequence is A-1, B-2, C-3, and D-4, which corresponds to Option 1.
