Which of the following trees is characteristic of the tropical deciduous forests of India?
Teak
Tropical deciduous forests (also called monsoon forests) are the most widespread forests of India, growing in regions with moderate rainfall where trees shed their leaves in the dry season. Teak (Tectona grandis) is the most characteristic and commercially important tree of these forests, along with sal, sandalwood and bamboo.
Mangroves grow in coastal tidal (saline) swamps, while fir and deodar are conifers of the cold Himalayan (temperate/alpine) forests, so they do not belong to tropical deciduous forests.
Hence, the characteristic tree of India's tropical deciduous forests is Teak.
