  1. At 2$3^0$ N and 2$3^0$ S

  2. Between 2$3^0$ N and 2$3^0$ S

  3. Between $0^0$ and 2$3^0$ N

  4. Between $0^0$ and 2$3^0$ S

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Tropical region occurs at 23$^o$ N and 23$^o$ S. The region is present at the equator. It is limited in latitude by the tropic of cancer in the north and the tropic of capricorn in the south.

Thus, the correct answer is '23$^o$ N and 23$^o$ S.'

  1. Pine

  2. Orchids

  3. Oak

  4. Rhododendrons

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Pines seeds are mainly small and winged, and are anemophilous generally, which means that the seeds are dispersed by wind. However, some seeds are larger and they have only a vestigial wing and are needed to be dispersed by a bird. Thus, If at high altitudes, birds become rare, the plants likely to disappear are Pine plants. Oaks are not generally found at such high altitudes.

So, the correct answer is 'Pine'.
