Answer :

The statements provided are as follows:

a) The trees do not shed leaves in tropical forests and are called evergreen.
b) Mediterranean trees have wax-coated leaves.
c) Deciduous forests are known as 'orchards of the world.'
d) Animals in the tundra forest do not have thick fur.

Now, let's evaluate each statement:

a) This statement is FALSE. In tropical forests, trees do shed leaves, and they are called evergreen if they keep their leaves throughout the year.

b) This statement is TRUE. Mediterranean trees often have wax-coated leaves as an adaptation to conserve water in their hot and dry environment.

c) This statement is FALSE. Deciduous forests are not known as 'orchards of the world.' They are forests where trees shed their leaves annually.

d) This statement is FALSE. Animals in the tundra forest, like polar bears and Arctic foxes, have thick fur to insulate them from the cold temperatures in their habitat.

In summary:
- Statement a is FALSE because trees in tropical forests do shed leaves.
- Statement b is TRUE as Mediterranean trees can have wax-coated leaves.
- Statement c is FALSE because deciduous forests are not referred to as 'orchards of the world.'
- Statement d is FALSE because animals in the tundra forest do have thick fur for insulation.
