D Correct answer
Explanation

Taiga (boreal forest) produces softwoods like pine and spruce, not rosewood (a tropical hardwood). Tropical deciduous forests contain teak, sal, and oak - not maple (a temperate tree). Mediterranean vegetation features olive, cork oak, and maquis scrub. Selva (Amazon rainforest) is known for mahogany, rosewood, and rubber trees. Option D correctly matches Selva with mahogany.
