Answer 1

Hint: Natural vegetation is known to be a plant community. One which has evolved automatically and naturally without any human aid and has been relinquished peacefully by humans for a long term.

Complete step-by-step solution:
Generally, there are five different types of natural generations in India: Tropical Evergreen Rain Forests, Deciduous or Monsoon Type of Forests, Dry Deciduous Forests and Scrubs and Tidal or Mangrove Forests. The evergreen forests are usually found in areas where more than 200 cm of rainfall is observed and areas having a temperature of 15 to 30 degrees Celsius. They inhabit about seven percent of the earth’s land surface and harbors more than half of the world’s plants and animals. They are established mostly near the equator. They are mostly found in the western ghats of Karnataka. Deciduous forests are the largest comprehensive forests of India they are also called the monsoon forests and disperse over the area attaining rainfall between 70cm and 200cm. Dry deciduous forests are found in the north­western part of the country containing semi­arid regions of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana. Acacias, palms, euphorbias, and cacti are the primary plant variety. Trees are scattered and have lengthy roots infiltrating deep into the soil to obtain moisture. Mangrove forests are organized in the areas of coasts influenced by tides. Mud and silt get acquired on such coasts. Dense mangroves are the popular species that have their roots immersed underwater. The deltas of the Ganga, the Krishana, the Godavari, and the Kaveri are wrapped by such vegetation. Hence it is clear that the western that's of Karnataka have evergreen forest vegetation.

This option (D) is correct.

Note: Forests and vegetation are an important part of our life, we can't survive without having them their importance and the thing they are providing us is endless.
