The soil that remains fully frozen throughout the year in Tundra lands is referred to as ______________.
Land with permafrost underlying it is called tundra. The tundra of the Arctic is stark and treeless.

The topmost layer of the permafrost melts in summer, leaving soggy land, marshes, bogs, and lakes behind.
The correct answer is C .
