Softwood comes from which type of trees?

• A. Deciduous broadleaved trees
• B. Fruit trees
• C. Conifers or evergreen trees
• D. Tropical hardwoods

Answer: (C)

Softwood comes from conifers, the evergreen trees that bear cones. These trees are gymnosperms with needle-like leaves, and their wood is typically lighter and easier to work with, making it common for construction, carpentry, and paper. The other descriptions refer to broadleaf or tropical hardwoods, which come from deciduous or tropical flowering trees and are categorized as hardwood rather than softwood. So the best match is conifers or evergreen trees.
