Solution

The correct option is B tropical moist forests
Tropical rainforests are areas of extremely high biodiversity compared to other ecosystems. Biologists estimate that tropical rainforests contain about 50% of the world's terrestrial plant and animal species, yet they encompass only about 6% of the world's land area.
