Answer 1

Hint: Tropical rainforests are found near the equator, with high average temperatures and humidity, while temperate rainforests lie mostly in coastal, mountainous areas within the mid-latitudes.

Complete answer:
India's best rainforests are found majorly in the northeastern region where it is not as affected by human population at all as the Western Ghats. The Rain forests are basically known to be found in places where more than 230 cms of rainfall is present and which has a monthly average temperature of 18 degree celsius or sometimes recorded even higher in the coldest month of the year. They are very well known to occupy more than 7 % of the earth’s surface and facilitates more than 55 percent of the terrestrial plants and animals present all around the world.

Andaman and Nicobar islands, slopes of western ghats, Assam. West Bengal, Odisha are the very known places where you can find tropical rainforest areas. These areas experience the humid climate and generally very dry season. Rosewood, ebony and mahogany are some of the trees which are abundant here and the most of them commercially used.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

Note: It is known that the rain forests are very dense or just say thick and they receive 200 cms of rainfall annually and the sunlight does not even reach the ground in some of its areas. The main reason why these are also known as the evergreen forests is because of the different trees shed leaves at different times of the year.
