B Correct answer
Explanation

Tropical evergreen forests grow in regions with heavy rainfall throughout the year (over 200 cm) and have no dry season, so trees don't shed leaves simultaneously. They maintain green foliage year-round and never appear bare. Deciduous forests (both tropical and temperate) have distinct shedding periods.
