The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Sundarban Biosphere Reserve**: - The Sundarban Biosphere Reserve (SBR) is located in a delta region near Calcutta, India, and it borders Bangladesh. 2. **Identifying Key Vegetation**: - The primary vegetation in the Sundarban is mangrove trees. Among these, the Sunderi tree is particularly abundant. 3. **Characteristics of Mangrove Trees**: - Mangrove trees, including the Sunderi tree, have specialized adaptations such as pneumatophores, which are root extensions that grow above ground to help with respiration in waterlogged conditions. 4. **Excluding Other Plant Types**: - Cacti are found in desert areas and are not present in the Sundarban. - Conifers are typically found in colder climates with long winters and short summers, which do not match the Sundarban environment. - Junipers are shrubs found in mountainous regions, also not present in the Sundarbans. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the information, the plants commonly found in the Sundarban Biosphere Reserve are mangroves, particularly the Sunderi tree. ### Final Answer: The plants commonly found in the Sundarban Biosphere Reserve are **mangroves**. ---
