Solution

The correct option is E Tropical rainforest
Strong radiation, warm temperatures and high rainfall together provides favourable growing conditions throughout the year in tropical rainforest and favors the greatest diversity of flora and fauna. They are home to at least half of all the species of terrestrial plants and animals. Tundra does not favor vegetation due to permafrost; taiga biomes are the coniferous forest; deserts do not support diverse flora and fauna due to the scarcity of water.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
