Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The distribution of vegetation in India is primarily determined by rainfall and altitude. Mangroves (A) are found in coastal and deltaic regions; while West Bengal is famous for them, Karnataka also possesses significant mangrove areas such as in Uttar Kannada and Udupi. Scrub vegetation (B) is characteristic of semi-arid regions with low rainfall, predominantly found in Rajasthan and the Aravalli hills [3]. Teak (C) is a dominant species of tropical deciduous or monsoon forests, with Madhya Pradesh being a major producer and home to extensive teak forests [2]. Coniferous forests (D) are found in high-altitude Himalayan regions; Arunachal Pradesh, located in the Eastern Himalayas, contains sub-alpine forests featuring coniferous species like larch and fir [2]. Therefore, the correct matching is A-2, B-3, C-1, and D-4.
