Question

Match the vegetation zones of Column I with the characteristics given in Column II. \[ \begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline Column I & Column II
\hline A. \text{Alpine} & I. \text{Snow}
B. \text{Temperate} & II. \text{Frost is rare}
C. \text{Tropical} & III. \text{Frost some snow}
D. \text{Subtropical} & IV. \text{No frost}
\hline \end{array} \] Options:

• A. A-II. B-I. C-III. D-IV
• B. A-I. B-II. C-IV. D-III
• C. A-IV. B-III. C-I. D-II
• D. A-I. B-III. C-IV. D-II

Hint:

When matching vegetation zones with their characteristics, keep in mind the temperature and climatic conditions that define each zone. Alpine regions are snowy, temperate regions may have some frost, tropical zones are warm with no frost, and subtropical regions are frost-free.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Let’s go through each vegetation zone and its characteristics:
Alpine (A): Alpine vegetation is found at high altitudes where the climate is cold, and the defining characteristic is snow, which matches with I. Snow.
Temperate (B): Temperate vegetation zones are characterized by moderate climates. These regions may experience some frost or snow, but frost is not too common, matching with III. Frost some snow.
Tropical (C): Tropical vegetation zones are found in warmer climates, and they typically do not experience frost. This makes C match with IV. No frost.
Subtropical (D): Subtropical regions are typically warm and experience no frost, matching with II. Frost is rare.
Thus, the correct matching is A-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II, which corresponds to Option (4).
