Correct option is C

Correct Answer: (c) Himalayan Mountains
Explanation:
· The alpine climate is characterized by cold, snowy winters and cool summers and occurs at high elevations (generally above 2,400 metres) where temperature and vegetation change with altitude.
· The Himalayan mountains exhibit alpine and tundra climates in higher reaches, with permanent snowfields, glaciers and alpine meadows.
· Such climatic conditions support specialized flora (alpine grasses, rhododendrons at subalpine zones) and fauna adapted to cold, high-altitude environments.
Information Booster:
· Famous alpine meadows include the Valley of Flowers and various high-altitude pastures in Kashmir and the Garhwal/Kumaon regions.
Additional Knowledge:
· Thar Desert has arid desert climate; Northern Plains have subtropical climate; Western Ghats have tropical monsoon and montane climates at higher elevations.
