Q1. The temperate forests called Sholas are found in which of the following states of India?

A Punjab

B Rajasthan

C Odisha

D Tamil Nadu Correct

Explanation

Shola forests are patches of montane evergreen, temperate forest found in the higher ranges of the Western Ghats, especially the Nilgiri, Anaimalai and Palani hills of Tamil Nadu. They occur with rolling grasslands in cool, moist uplands. Punjab has plains and foothill vegetation, not Shola forest. Rajasthan is dominated by arid and semi-arid vegetation. Odisha has tropical moist and dry deciduous forests, but it is not the classic Shola region. Therefore Tamil Nadu fits the ecological and geographical description.
