Question

____________ and ____________ are the trees found in the Sunderbans.
A. Sundari, Mangrove
B. Sundari, Sea forest
C. Mangrove, Sea forest
D. None of the above

Answer 1

Hint:One of these trees is the primary mangrove plant of the Sundarbans of India and Bangladesh. This tree can grow up to 60 feet in height with a girth of six feet in height.
Another tree is a shrub or small tree that grows in salty or brackish coastal waters which are usually satisfied by the Sundarban waters.

Complete answer:
Mangrove forests of Sundarbans are the largest mangrove forests of the world. These are located in Ganga-Brahmaputra delta of west Bengal and Bangladesh. Sundarbans Mangrove forest consists of trees and small shrubs that are grown in coastal saline or brackish waters. Mangrove trees can withstand high salinity conditions. It gets its name from the mangrove or the “Sundari'' trees which display around some sixty-four varieties.
The mangrove vegetation of Sundarbans can bear saline inundations brought in by tides. In the months of April-May, the whole forest blooms with a riot of colors. It has red blooms of Genwa (Excoecaria agallocha) which find its match in the yellow blooms of Khalsi (Aegiceras corniculatum). These red flowers with the crab-like shape called Kankra (Bruguiera gymnorrhiza) can also be seen during this time of the year. Beside this, there are other plants and trees that are found here are Dhundal or cannonball mangrove, Passur, Garjan, and Goran. Therefore, Sundari Seaforest and Mangrove Seaforest are not found in the forest of Sunderbans.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Note:1. Sundari means the "beautiful" in Bengali.And very few will remember today that the mangrove forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is named after the once prolific Sundari tree.
2. The species is now on the verge of extinction in West Bengal due to over deforestation in the past due to its high value of timber and now rising seawater."It is very difficult to find a Sundari tree in the Sundarbans, as the species has a lower tolerance for saline seawater, and there is not much high ground left, particularly in the Indian part of the Sundarbans.
