Q1. Rosewood, Mahogany, and Ebony species of trees are found in which of the following forest areas? Choose the most appropriate option from below:
A Tropical Evergreen Correct
B Tropical Thorn
C Montane
D Littoral and Swamp
Explanation
Rosewood, Mahogany, and Ebony are typical valuable hardwood species associated with tropical evergreen forests, especially in warm and very wet regions. Such forests have dense, multilayered vegetation and remain green through the year. Tropical thorn forests are dry-zone forests with species such as acacia and cactus-like shrubs, not these moist-evergreen hardwoods. Montane forests are altitude-based hill forests with a different species mix. Littoral and swamp forests occur near coasts, deltas, and tidal areas and are marked by mangrove or swamp vegetation.
