Explanation
Ebony is a characteristic tree of tropical evergreen forests (Western Ghats and the Northeast), shisham (Dalbergia sissoo) of moist deciduous forests, walnut of the Himalayan moist temperate forests, and birch of the alpine zone. The pairings are therefore A–4, B–1, C–2, D–3, which matches option A. Any other combination misplaces at least one species into a vegetation belt where it does not naturally dominate.
