Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation
Tropical Dry Deciduous forests cover the largest area in India (approximately 40-41% of the total forest cover). These forests are found in the vast regions of the country that receive moderate rainfall (between 70 cm and 100 cm), including large parts of the Peninsular plateau and the plains of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. They are a type of 'monsoon forest' that sheds leaves during the dry season to conserve water. While Tropical Moist Deciduous forests are also widespread, the Dry variety occupies a significantly larger area.
