Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Western Andhra Pradesh
Tropical thorn (scrub) forests consisting of open, stunted growth with thorny bushes and deep-rooted, spiny trees grow in semi-arid areas that receive <70–80 cm of rain, such as the Deccan plateau around western Andhra Pradesh. The other three regions are humid or sub-humid and support moist/deciduous forests, not thorn scrub. Hence option (d) is correct.
