Answer 1

They grow at moderate aces adding one to two feet per year to reach between 40 to 70 feet tall. Though it can reach about 250 feet in native settings. This tree has beautiful weeping branches, because of this reason it acquires about all the space. Right after the ground has thawed, the sapling of deodar is perfect.

The deodar cedar is an evergreen conifer tree that is favoured for its weeping bit. It is often used as a specimen tree in parks and other large gardens and can also be used to line streets. This species is the national tree in Pakistan and it has garnered the award of garden merit from the Royal horticultural society.
Botanical name: Cedrus deodara
common name: Deodar cedar, Himalayan cedar.

Now, the options given are:
A) Conifers: they are vegetatively composed primarily of cone-bearing needle-shaped leaves. Found in areas that have long winters and moderate to high annual precipitation.
B) Mosses: Mosses are found in moist shady locations. They aid in soil erosion control, by providing surface cover and absorbing water and they are important in the nutrient and water economy of some vegetation types.
C) Dicot: any member of a plant that has a pair of leaves and cotyledons in the embryo of the seed and having two cotyledons are termed as dicot plants. Most of the garden plants, shrubs, trees such as roses, hollyhock are dicots.
D) Fern: the class of non-flowering vascular plants that possess true roots, stems and complex leaves and that reproduce by spores. They are found in unexplored tropical areas. So, clearly, our answer is conifers.

Thus the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note: Cedrus deodara is one of the true cedars. The name deodar evolved from the wood devadaru, which in Sanskrit means the timber of gods. This tree is sacred in Hinduism. They need much sunlight in the spring, however, if planted in the fall, they won't need as much sun or water as it would be required in spring.
