Solution

The correct option is C Tropical environments are more seasonal, relatively more constant and predictable
The climatic region near the equator is known as the tropical zone. The equatorial or tropical region receives direct sunlight, and therefore has higher temperature compared to other regions. This causes more evaporation, resulting into precipitation in the form of rain. Thus, there is constant weather pattern in tropics which is favourable for the growth of plants and animals.
Tropical environments are, therefore, less seasonal and relatively more constant and predictable. Hence option c is incorrect and option d is correct.
The tropical regions remain relatively undisturbed for millions of years and threfore have a long evolutionary time for species diversification. Hence option a and b are correct.
