- D.1, 2 and 3
▶ Answer & Explanation
Correct answer: C. 1 and 3 only
Tropical wet evergreen forests are found in areas receiving high rainfall and high temperatures throughout the year. Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram receive significant rainfall and have tropical to subtropical climates, supporting these forest types. Himachal Pradesh, in contrast, has a predominantly temperate climate with cooler temperatures, especially at higher altitudes, making it unsuitable for tropical wet evergreen forests.
