Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Dry deciduous trees are India's largest and most pervasive woods. They are referred to as monsoon woods and are dispersed over the area that receives between 200 and 70 cm of precipitation annually. During the dry summer, trees in this type of forest lose their leaves for roughly six to eight weeks. These forests are further categorised into moist and dry deciduous trees based on water availability. The former can be found in regions with 200–100 cm annual rainfall. In regions with annual rainfall ranging from 100 cm to 70 cm, dry deciduous forests can be found. The Peninsular plateau's rainier regions and the lowlands of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh include these woods.
