Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Sirohi

​The correct answer is Sirohi.

  • The district of Rajasthan, where the tropical dry deciduous forests are not found in Sirohi.

  • Biodiversity of Rajasthan:
    • Though a large percentage of the total area is desert and even though there is little forest cover, Rajasthan has rich and varied flora and fauna.
    • The natural vegetation is classed as Northern Desert Thorn Forest (Champion 1936).
    • These occur in small clumps scattered in more or less open forms.
    • The density and size of patches increase from west to east following the increase in rainfall.
    • The Northwestern thorn scrub forests lie in a band around the Thar Desert, between the desert and the Aravallis.
    • The Aravalli and the south-eastern region is home to the dry deciduous forests, with tropical dry broadleaf forests that include teak, Acacia, and other trees. Hence Sirohi is the correct answer.

    • North of ‘Vagad’ lies the Mewar region, home to the cities of Udaipur and Chittaurgarh.
    • All these regions have varied flora and fauna distinct to the region.
