Explanation by: Admin

Monsoon forests are also known as tropical deciduous forests.

  • These forests are called monsoon forests because they are found in regions with a distinct wet and dry season, typical of a monsoonal climate.
  • Trees in these forests shed their leaves during the dry season to conserve water.
  • Common in countries like India, Thailand, and parts of Southeast Asia.

Why not the others?

  • (A) Mountain forest – Found in high-altitude areas; not necessarily related to monsoon patterns.
  • (C) Equatorial forest – Evergreen forests found near the equator with high rainfall year-round; no dry season.
  • (D) Rain forest – Refers to evergreen forests with heavy rainfall throughout the year, not seasonal like monsoon forests.

Thus, Deciduous forest (B) is the correct answer.
