- 3.

1, 2 and 3
Explanation
Tropical Wet Evergreen Forests occur in regions with high rainfall and suitable tropical climate conditions. Arunachal Pradesh (Statement 1) has these forests in its eastern regions due to high precipitation from monsoons. Mizoram (Statement 3) also has tropical wet evergreen forests owing to its high rainfall and humid subtropical climate. Himachal Pradesh (Statement 2) is in the temperate zone of the Himalayas with cooler climate and different vegetation patterns (coniferous and temperate forests), so tropical wet evergreen forests do not occur there. Thus, statements 1 and 3 are correct. > Tropical Wet Evergreen Distribution: North-East high rain areas (AP, Mizoram) vs. temperate Himachal (not tropical) Answer: (c).
