Solution
The correct option is D Amazon rain forest
The Amazon in South America is the largest, most diverse tropical rainforest on Earth, covering an area of five and a half million square kilometres (2.1 million sq mi) and thus is called as the lungs of Earth. It is called so because they generally draw in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen. It accounts for more than half of the planets remaining rainforest and is home to more than half the world's species of plants and animals.
