Q1. Tropical thorn forest is found in which of the following regions of Rajasthan? Choose the most appropriate option from below:
A Udaipur
B Jaisalmer Correct
C Baran
D Kota
Explanation
Jaisalmer lies in western Rajasthan, where arid conditions, scanty rainfall, and sandy terrain support tropical thorn forest. Such vegetation includes drought-resistant shrubs and thorny trees adapted to desert and semi-desert conditions. Udaipur is linked more with the Aravalli and comparatively moister southern Rajasthan. Baran and Kota fall in the south-eastern Hadoti region, where rainfall is higher and the vegetation pattern is different from the desert thorn belt. Therefore, among the given places, Jaisalmer is the most appropriate region for tropical thorn forest.
