A	Forest meadows
B	Forest Umbrella
C	Forest Canopy
D	Climax community

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -These layers are called forest storeys or strata. The top-most stratum is made of emergent trees; below them are the canopy trees, which are usually present as a continuous layer. The tree strata below them are called the sub-canopy and the understorey.

Detailed explanation-2: -The forest canopy is a structurally complex and ecologically important subsystem of the forest. It is defined as “the aggregate of all crowns in a stand of vegetation, which is the combination of all foliage, twigs, fine branches, epiphytes as well as the interstices (air) in a forest” (Parker, 1995).

Detailed explanation-3: -The crown of a tree is the branchy section of the tree above the stem. The crown of the tree is located at the very top of the tree. The photosynthesis leaves are supported by the branches that grow out from the main trunk.
