Detailed Solution

The tidal mangrove forests are found in the areas of coasts influenced by tides. Mud and silt get accumulated in such areas. The most prevalent type of mangrove is dense mangrove, with plant roots immersed in water. Such vegetation covers the deltas of the Ganga, Mahanadi, Krishna, Godavari, and Kaveri rivers. Sundari trees in the Ganga-Brahmaputra delta yield durable hard lumber.
Montane forests make up the high-altitude vegetation. In mountainous places, the natural vegetation changes by the drop in temperature that occurs with increasing altitude. Temperate grasslands are frequent at higher altitudes. Therefore both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
