Hint:The Taig type of natural forests are mostly found in the Northern parts of the world.Along with it, they have wooden cones instead of leaves that protects the seeds of the fauna.

Complete answer:
Trees like spruce, pine, fir etc. Are coniferous trees i.e. they have needles instead of broad leaves.
The seeds of these trees are found within this from wooden cones to protect them from the harsh weather conditions. Taiga type forests are also known as boreal or snow forest.
They are found in countries like Russia, Mongolia, Japan, Norway, Sweden, Finland, United States, Canada and Scotland. Tiger covers 11.5% of the earth's land area. In other words, this forest covers 17 million square kilometres of the total land surface. The average temperature of the region is from minus 5 degree to 5 degrees celsius. The plants in the taiga region takes a little more time to grow as compared to the growth of the plants in the southern regions.
There are small deciduous trees like Birch, Alder, Willow and Poplar along with trees like oak, maple, elem and lime in the southernmost part of the taiga forest.

Hence the correct answer is option C.

Note:The northern altitude mostly has a wide range of Taiga forests. Flora the region consists mostly of coniferous trees for staff this is because of the harsh weather conditions in the altitude. Coniferous trees have a pyramidal structure which prevents the fruits and seeds of the trees from getting destroyed.
