The correct option is D
Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.


The collective and continuous growth of plants in space is called as vegetation. A biome is defined as a major biological community-type, that recurs over a broad geographic scale under a particular set of environmental conditions.
Corals are small animals that belong to the phylum Cnidaria, together with anemones, jellyfish and hydroids. Coral reefs are almost exclusively found in tropical and sub-tropical waters across the globe. Coral reefs have been called as the rainforests of the ocean because of their rich biodiversity. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
