| Which of the statements] given above is/are correct? |

Correct Answer: B
Solution :
[b] Savannas have warm temperature year round. There are actually two very different seasons in a savanna; a very long dry season (winter) and a very wet season (summer). In the dry season there is only an average of about 4 inches rainfall. Between December and February, no rain will fall all. Plants of the Savannas are highly specialised to growl this environment of long periods of drought. Trees 6-12 m height strongly rooted with flattened crow They have long tap roots that can reach the deep water table thick bark to resist annual fires, trunks that can store wan and leaves that drop out during the winter to conserve water. Trees are fire resistant and species diversity is low.
