Hint:

Remember these facts about the Sundarbans: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Location} &\rightarrow \text{Ganga--Brahmaputra Delta}, \text{Vegetation} &\rightarrow \text{Mangrove Forest}, \text{Famous For} &\rightarrow \text{Royal Bengal Tiger}, \text{Status} &\rightarrow \text{UNESCO World Heritage Site}. \end{aligned} } \] Mnemonic: “Sundarban = Sundari Trees = Mangroves.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: The Sundarban Delta, formed by the Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers, is the world's largest delta and is renowned for its extensive mangrove forests. It is also the habitat of the Royal Bengal Tiger.

Step 1: Identify the characteristic vegetation. The Sundarban Delta is famous for \[ \boxed{\text{Mangrove Forests}} \]

Step 2: Eliminate the incorrect options. \[ \begin{aligned} A. &\ \text{Tropical Evergreen Forest} \rightarrow \text{Occurs in high rainfall regions, not the delta.} B. &\ \text{Tropical Deciduous Forest} \rightarrow \text{Not the characteristic vegetation.} C. &\ \text{Mangrove Forest} \rightarrow \text{Correct. Dominant vegetation of the Sundarbans.}\checkmark D. &\ \text{Montane Vegetation} \rightarrow \text{Found in mountainous regions.} \end{aligned} \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{(C)}} \]
