Hint: The tropical monsoon region is also known as the tropical deciduous region and during the wet season formations are broad and lush. These forests can be found in the regions of Chattisgarh, Orissa, etc.

Complete answer: Monsoon forest is known by different names such as tropical deciduous forest or dry forest. These forests occur in tropical areas that have a season of heavy rainfall and are followed by a long dry season.
During the rainy season, the forest formations are dense and lush or leafy (Broadleaf deciduous trees), and during the dry winters, most of the trees shed their leaves.
These forests are found where the climates are warm year-round and also receive hundreds of centimeters of rain every year. In the drier areas of north and south of the tropical rainforest belt, the monsoon forest occurs, and south or north of the subtropical deserts.
In the regions of southern Mexico and Bolivian lowlands, the most distinct monsoon forest in the world occurs.
While talking about the other options,
B. Evergreen trees are found in the regions of Evergreen Forests and except Antarctica, evergreen trees are found in every continent.
C. Most of the trees in the Coniferous forests are Conifers. These trees are found in the northern parts of Asia, Europe, and North America.
D. In the regions like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Gujarat, etc, also known as semi-arid regions, Thorny Bushes are found, as these regions generally receive less rainfall than 70 centimetres.

Thus the correct option is A.

Note: The Monsoon forests are sensitive as they are the habitat of several exotic species. The Pacific Coast of northwestern South America has become a residence of several unique species.
