4. \a tree that is a pigmy in one locality may rank as a giant in another region due to different conditions of growth and climate.\

# Brief Explanations:
To determine which quote supports the idea that environment determines a forest tree's stature, we analyze each option:
- Option 1: Talks about trees growing in shade, not environment's effect on stature.
- Option 2: Describes tree growth location, not stature determination.
- Option 3: Discusses tree following another, not environment-stature link.
- Option 4: States a tree's stature (pigmy vs giant) changes with growth/climate conditions (environment), directly supporting the idea.

# Answer:
4. "A tree that is a pigmy in one locality may rank as a giant in another region due to different conditions of growth and climate."
