Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Below 1000 mt.

Explanation: The correct answer is A. Below 1000 mt. Tropical evergreen forests in West Bengal are mostly found below 1000 meters in altitude, particularly in the foothills of the Darjeeling Himalayas and in humid areas of the Terai and Duars region. These forests thrive in high rainfall and humid climate, generally receiving more than 200 cm of rainfall annually. In the Jalpaiguri and Alipurduar districts, parts of the forests near the Indo-Bhutan border are classified under this category.
