A significant portion of Meghalaya’s forests is classified as:

Tropical evergreen
Deciduous
Coniferous
Mangrove

The correct answer is: a) Tropical evergreen.

Tropical evergreen forests are found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. They are characterized by their dense canopy of trees that remain green year-round. These forests are home to a wide variety of plant and animal life, including many species that are found nowhere else on Earth.

Meghalaya is a state in northeastern India that is home to some of the world’s most extensive tropical evergreen forests. These forests are an important part of the state’s ecosystem, providing habitat for wildlife, regulating the climate, and preventing soil erosion.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Deciduous forests are found in temperate regions and lose their leaves in the fall.
  • Coniferous forests are found in cold, mountainous regions and are dominated by cone-bearing trees.
  • Mangrove forests are found in tropical and subtropical coastal areas and are adapted to living in salty water.
