Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1000 and 2000

Explanation: The correct answer is C. 1000 and 2000. The Wet Temperate Forests of India are typically found on the southern slopes of the Himalayas. These forests occur at altitudes ranging from 1000 to 2000 metres above sea level. This zone receives heavy rainfall and has cool, moist climatic conditions. These conditions favour the growth of evergreen trees mixed with deciduous species.
