Q1. Select the incorrect statement about subtropical mountain forests. Choose the most appropriate option from below.
A These forests are found only in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Correct
B Subtropical mountain forests are found only in the Mount Abu region in Rajasthan.
C Greenery is available permanently in these forests.
D These forests can be found in Sirohi, which is situated in Rajasthan.
Explanation
The statement that these forests are found only in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh is incorrect because subtropical mountain forests are not limited to those two states. In Rajasthan, their notable occurrence is around the Mount Abu area. Mount Abu lies in Sirohi district, so linking these forests with Sirohi is consistent. Such forests retain greenery because of the comparatively moist and cooler hill conditions. The question asks for the incorrect statement, so the overly restrictive distribution claim is the answer.
