Vegetation zones are grouped by temperature: the warmer the zone, the higher its mean annual temperature, and the zones step down from the tropics to the high mountains.
(A) Tropical — this matches (II) Above 24 Degree Celsius. The hottest zone, with the evergreen and deciduous forests of the plains and low hills.
(B) Subtropical — this matches (III) 17-24 Degree Celsius. A little cooler, with a mild winter.
(C) Temperate — this matches (IV) 7-17 Degree Celsius. Cool zones such as the middle Himalayan slopes with their coniferous and broad-leaved forests.
(D) Alpine — this matches (I) Below 7 Degree Celsius. The coldest zone, near the snowline, with grasses, shrubs and mosses.
