Solution
The correct option is D Moist tropical forests Species diversity or genetic variation increases as one proceeds from high altitude to low altitude and high latitude to low latitude. Tropical moist forests are wet and dense. They exhibit maximum genetic variations due to high temperature and rainfall. More than half of the species on the earth live in this area. They show high animal and plants biodiversity.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Moist tropical forests.'
