The correct answer is option 2 - Tropical moist deciduous forest.

In India, tropical moist deciduous forests cover the maximum area compared to other types of forests. These forests are found in areas with high rainfall, typically between 1000 to 2000 mm per year. They thrive in regions with both wet and dry seasons.

Option 1 - Tropical rainforests, though rich in biodiversity, are found in smaller pockets in the northeastern states of India and the Western Ghats.

Option 3 - Tropical dry deciduous forests are found in areas with lower rainfall and experience distinct wet and dry seasons. They cover a lesser area compared to tropical moist deciduous forests.

Option 4 - Tropical dry evergreen forests are found in regions with high rainfall but a long dry period. They are restricted to specific regions like the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Hence, the tropical moist deciduous forests, being well adapted to the Indian climate and covering a large area, are the dominant forest type in India.
