Hint: Tropical rainforests are rainforests that occurred in regions of tropical rainforest environment in which there is no dusty season – all months have a fair moisture of at least 60 mm – and may also be pertained to as lowland equatorial evergreen rainforest.

Complete answer:
Before we discuss the correct option, let us know a little more about rainforest. There are two varieties of rainforests, temperate and tropical. Tropical rainforests are seen near to the equator and temperate rainforests are seen distant north near coastal areas. The majority of widespread houseplants arrive from the rainforest.

Option D: Tropical rain forests transpire over equatorial or sub equatorial areas with substantial warmth and rainfall (200-350 cms/ year) almost through the year. The forests are closed with ultimate diversity. Productivity is also ultimate. Standing crop biomass is elevated. Soil is highly lead due to heavy rains and is therefore needy in nutrients.
In India these forests are most widespread in Western Ghats, some portions of Eastern Himalayas e.gAssam province and Andamans. Some parts of West Bengal and Tamil Nadu also show occasional rain forests. They are completely absent in peninsular Indian states, which are a plateau region, e.g., Madhya Pradesh. Therefore, this is the correct option. As option D is correct, option A, B and C is incorrect.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note: As well as the vivid elegance that arrives with tremendous diversity in plants and animals, rainforests also fiddle an empirical role in protecting our planet healthy. By consuming carbon dioxide and discharging the oxygen that we depend on for our survival. The absorption of this carbon dioxide also enables to solidify the Earth's climate.
