Explanation

The natural vegetation of India is primarily determined by rainfall and altitude. The Western Ghats, receiving heavy rainfall, are characterized by Tropical Evergreen forests [2]. Himachal Pradesh, located in the Himalayan region, features Himalayan Moist forests (or Montane forests). Haryana and Punjab, being semi-arid regions in Northwest India, are dominated by Tropical Thorny forests [2]. The Chhotanagpur Plateau, covering parts of Jharkhand and Odisha, receives moderate rainfall (100-200 cm) and is home to Tropical Moist Deciduous forests, which are the most widespread forest type in India [3]. Matching these pairs: A-2 (Western Ghats - Tropical Evergreen), B-3 (Himachal Pradesh - Himalayan Moist Forest), C-4 (Haryana and Punjab - Tropical Thorny Forest), and D-1 (Chhotanagpur Plateau - Tropical Moist Deciduous) leads to the sequence 2-3-4-1.
