Hint: According to the Indian Forest State Report, Punjab and Haryana have the lowest percentage of forests in india. Among the union territories, Daman and Diu is the lowest green. About 90% of the state's area in Mizoram is in forests, followed by Arunachal Pradesh. Madhya Pradesh has the largest area under forest.

Complete answer: India's natural waiver can be divided into the following sections
1. Tropical Editional One: 200 cm. These forests are found in more rain areas. Its main area, Sahyadri (Western Ghat), Shillong Plateau, Andaman - Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep. In the Northern Sahyadri region, these forests (known as the name of Shasalla One. Like the US economic forests, these forests are harsh and many species of trees are available. The height of the trees is more than 60 meters.

2. Tropical Old Deciduous Forest: It 100 to 200 cm Meet in the rain area. Its main area is the eastern slope of Sahyadri, north eastern plateau parts of the peninsula, Sahabar and Vehya region. These are especially monsoon forests. Here are the main trees Sagawan, Sakhua, Sheesham, Mango, Mahua, Bamboo, Well, Triphala and sandalwood. They are working in making valuable Sagawan (Teak), Sakhua (SAL) and wood furniture from all economic perspectives. Sleeping wood of railways is used.

3. Tropical dry deciduous forest: These vegetation are 70 to 100 cm. Meet the rain area. There is a lack of high trees in these forests. These forest thorns of dry marginal changes in forests and bushes.

3. Tropical Dry Deciduous Forests: These flora are 70 to 100 cm. Rain falls in the area. There is a lack of tall trees in these forests. These forests of the dry frontier turn into thorn forests and shrubs. Excessive grazing is the main problem here.

4. Thorn forests and shrubs: These forests are found in those parts of Gujarat to Rajasthan and Punjab, where the rainfall is 70 cm. Less than annual. They are found in a crescent box in the central part of the plateau from Indore in Madhya Pradesh to Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh. The main flora here are acacia, khair, dates, hawthorn, cactus, etc.

5. Mountain forest: As the height increases, climatic conditions especially temperature and rainfall changes. That is why gradual changes in flora pattern with height in mountainous parts Are visible. It grows in increasing order of elevation from the tropics to the alpine flora. 1500 m. Deciduous forests are found up to a height of. 1500 to 3500 m. Angular verdant forests are found to the height of the trees, whose trees are softwood. Forests with small and informant leaves of cedar, cusp, silver, pine etc. are found here. The broad-leafed verdant forests of oak, magnolia and laurel are found at this height in areas of high rainfall in the eastern Himalayas. Alpine flora 2800 m. From 4800 m Let's get to the height of. Initially there are poplar and walnut trees and alpine meadows, while at higher altitudes no vegetation is found.

6. Tidal Forests: These forests are found mainly in those parts where fresh water of rivers meets seawater and consequently becomes marshy part. The lower delta portion of Ganga, Godavari, Krishna etc. are the ideal genesis areas of these flora. The main vegetation here is Mangrove, Sundari, Cajurina, Kevda and Bandi trees. Tidal forests prevent sea erosion and their wood does not rot in the water. These are also a kind of sedentary forest with high biodiversity.

So option A is the correct answer.

Note - The 14th Forest Status Report, 2015 (ISFR: India State of Forest Report - 2015) is released on December 4, 2015, which is based on satellite statistics of October, 2013 to February 2014.

ISFR - compared to 2013, ISFR - 3,775 square km in 2015. The forest area has increased. According to ISFR - 2015, the total tremor in the country is 9.26 million hectares (92.572 square km), which is 2.82 percent of the total geographical area of the country. Thus, the total development and treason in the country is 79.42 million hectares (7,94245 square km), which is 24.16 percent of the total geographical area of the country.
