Solution

The correct option is A Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
A biome is a large collection of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat. Their boundaries are drawn arbitrarily and their characterisation made according to the average conditions that predominate in them. Biomes are classified using two abiotic factors: precipitation and temperature. The major reasons for climatic variations are different durations of temperature in different regions and the annual variation in precipitation (rainfall or snowfall). Variations in temperature along with annual variation in precipitation account for formation of major biomes. The graph given below depicts the characteristics of mean annual temperature and precipitation in different biomes.
