• Lumbering refers to cutting and transporting the cut trees for economic and industrial use. Coniferous forests are most suitable for lumbering as they are softwood trees which are easy to cut. Also, they have long straight logs of wood fit for economic uses.
• Equatorial, mixed and monsoon forests are also used for economic purposes, but to a little extent only as compared with coniferous forests
• Hence option C is correct.

• Polar regions are too cold to support the coniferous forests.
• The cold temperature zone is a very general term.
• The cool temperate zone does not support coniferous forests.
• The sub-arctic zone is suitable for the growth of coniferous forests hence option C is correct.

Deodar is not a tree species of this group. Deodar is a tall, broadly conical cedar which has drooping branches and bears large barrel- shaped cones, native to the Himalayas.

Eskimos lives in Alaska, Canada, and Greenland. They follow the Inuit religion. They believe in supernatural power called sila and spirits.

Parka is a type of heavy hooded jacket that is often lined with fur for protecting the face from freezing temperatures and wind. This hooded jacket was worn by Eskimos. They are made from caribou or seal. It is worn by the people to protect them from wind chill and wet while hunting and kayaking. Some Parkas have to be regularly coated with fish oil to keep their water resistance. Parka is also known as Anorak.

Mukluks are type of soft boots made to be worn in cold weather. These boots are worn by Eskimos. Traditional mukluks were very light and allowed hunters to move quietly. Mukluks are lined with the fur of Arctic animals, such as rabbits, foxes and raccoons to make them warmer. Mukluks allow air to circulate around the foot. This is more important in Arctic. Mukluks also keep water and snow out.

The Inuit are a group of culturally similar indigenous peoples inhabiting the Arctic regions of Greenland, Canada, and the United States. Their first European contact was with the Vikings who settled in Greenland and explored the eastern Canadian coast. 

The Inuit have traditionally been fishers and hunters. They still hunt whales, esp. Bowhead Whale, Walrus, Caribou, Seal, the Narwhal, polar bears, Muskoxen, birds, and at times the Arctic Fox.

The southern frigid zone lies between $66.56^o$ south of the Antarctic circle to the $90^o$ south in South pole. It is one of the coldest areas on the surface of the earth which covers with snow or ice throughout the year. This zone covers an area of 4.12 percent on the surface of the earth.
