Answer 1

Hint: There are many types of forests which are Tropical Evergreen Forests, Tropical Deciduous Forests, Temperate Evergreen Forests, Temperate Deciduous Forests, Mediterranean Forests, and lastly Coniferous Forests. Taigas are Coniferous forests.

Complete answer:
There are three broad categories of natural vegetation. These are Forests, Grasslands, and Shrubs. Mainly because of the changes in climatic conditions, the changes occur in the type of natural vegetation. Forests grow in areas where rainfall and temperature are plentiful to support a tree cover. Depending upon these factors, dense and open forests are grown.
Coniferous forests are composed primarily of cone-bearing, scale-leaved, and needle-leaved evergreen forests. Areas with moderate to high annual precipitation and long winters have these forests in abundance. These look similar in height and shape and Mosses, lichens, and liverworts cover the forest floor. These are found in the higher latitudes of the Northern hemisphere. These are also called Taiga, which means pure or untouched in the Russian language. These trees are found in abundance in the Himalayas. They are softwood, tall, and evergreen trees. The woods of these trees are used for manufacturing paper and newsprint since they are very useful for making pulp. Packing boxes and matchboxes are also made from softwood. Chir, cedar, pine is the important variety of trees in these forests. Other varieties include deodar, silver fir, spruce, etc. The common animals found here are mink, polar bear, and silver fox.

Thus, option (C) is correct.

Note: The Russian language is native to the Russians in Eastern Europe and it is an East Slavic language. In Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, it is an official language and it is also widely used throughout the Baltic States, Central Asia, and the Caucasus.
