Solution

The correct option is C Permafrost

Land with permafrost underlying it is called tundra. The tundra of the Arctic is stark and treeless. The frozen soil can not be penetrated by roots, so only mosses, lichens, and low shrubs can grow there. The topmost layer of the permafrost melts in summer, leaving soggy land, marshes, bogs, and lakes behind.

The correct answer is C .
