Consider the following States:
  1. Arunachal Pradesh
  2. Himachal Pradesh
  3. Mizoram
In which of the above States do ‘Tropical Wet Evergreen Forests’ occur?

Explanation

The correct option is 1 and 3 only because Tropical Wet Evergreen Forests thrive in regions with high rainfall and humidity, typically found in the northeastern states of India, such as Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram. These forests are characterized by dense vegetation and a diverse range of flora and fauna, making them distinct from the temperate forests found in Himachal Pradesh, which experiences a different climate conducive to coniferous and mixed forests. This understanding is crucial for the UPSC Prelims as it underlines the relationship between climate, geography, and biodiversity within India.
