Answer: Option C

Teak and Sal are the principal trees in the forests known as Tropical moist deciduous. The trees drop their leaves during the spring and early summer when sufficient moisture is not available. The general appearance is bare in extreme summers (April-May). Tropical moist deciduous forests present irregular top storey [25 to 60 m]. Heavily buttressed trees and fairly complete undergrowth. These forests occupy a much larger area than the evergreen forests but large tracts under these forests have been cleared for cultivation.
