Explanation
Chaparral is the Mediterranean scrub of California/North America (1); maquis of Southern Europe (2); fynbos of South Africa’s Cape (3); mallee scrub of Australia (4). All four are the local names for Mediterranean-type scrub vegetation on different continents. The correct code is therefore A-1, B-2, C-3, D-4, giving (A).
