Solution
The correct option is C Desert
Tropical forests show the highest levels of net primary production and hot, dry deserts and cold, dry tundra show the lowest levels. Intermediate levels occur in temperate forests, temperate grasslands, woodlands, and high-elevation forests. Primary production on land is a function of principally local hydrology and temperature (photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), the source of energy for photosynthesis). While plants cover much of the earth's surface, they are very less wherever temperatures are too extreme or where necessary plant resources (principally water and PAR) are limiting, such as deserts or polar regions. Hence, the number of primary producers within a desert is minimum.
