Solution

The correct option is B Tropical rain forest
A rainforest is a tropical biome characterized by regular rainfall and a high canopy consisting of a dense ceiling of leaves and tree branches formed by closely spaced evergreen trees. The canopy can be described as the seal on the rainforest. If there is no seal, then there is no rainforest. It is the search for light that creates the canopy and the rainforest depends largely on moisture and control of moisture by the canopy in its survival. The rainforest canopy may be as high as 45 m above the floor. Another characteristic of the tropical rainforest is that it provides a habitat for many animals - ground-dwellers and tree-dwellers. The canopy provides an enormous food source for the many insects, birds, possums, and other creatures, as well as a habitat for some tree-dwelling species such as the snake. The large quantities of epiphytes provide more habitats for lizards, birds and other small animals.
