A.

Tropical Thorn Forests

B.

Montane Forests

C.

Mangrove Forests

D.

Semi Evergreen Forests

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Mangrove Forests.
 Sundarbans is famous for its extensive mangrove forests, which are adapted to thrive in saline coastal environments.
 Mangrove forests are characterized by salt-tolerant trees and shrubs that grow in intertidal areas, where land meets the sea.
 These forests provide crucial ecosystem services, including coastal protection, carbon sequestration, and habitat for diverse flora and fauna, including the Bengal tiger, making Sundarbans a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Facts to remember:
Montane Forests, also known as cloud forests or mountain forests, are found in mountainous regions with high elevation and cooler temperatures.
 Montane forests are found in various parts of the world, including the Andes Mountains in South America, the Himalayas in Asia, the Rocky Mountains in North America, and the Alps in Europe.
Tropical Thorn Forests, also known as tropical dry forests or tropical savannas, are characterized by scattered trees, shrubs, and grasses adapted to dry conditions.
 These forests are typically found in regions with a pronounced dry season, such as parts of Africa, South America, Australia, and Asia.
