• C. Deciduous forests
• D. Tropical rainforest

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Thorny bushes and shrubs

horny bushes and shrubs are the predominant type of vegetation found in the Thar Desert due to the arid and dry conditions Thorny bushes are found in a hot and dry desert climate with seasonal rainfall averaging 250 to 500 millimeters or less than 50 cm. Thorny forests are found in the semi-arid areas of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana. Acacias, palms, euphorbias, and cacti are the main plants found in these forests. The stems are succulent to conserve water. The bushes shed their leaves seasonally to avoid loss of water. Leaves are modified into spines (thorns) and are small to minimize transpiration.
