The correct option is C Chaparral
Chaparral biome is the broad-leaved evergreen scrub forest (sclerophyllous or thick leaved shrubs and small trees) found in Mediterranean and Pacific coast of several countries with winter rains and dry summer. Both plants and animals are adapted to frequent and long periods of drought. Bush fires are common. Several plants are fire resistant. Plants include Sage, Arctostaphylos, Adenostemma and Coenothus. Trees of Oak and Eucalyptus occur at places. Fauna consists of drought-adapted animals like rabbits, deer, rats, snakes, lizard and birds.
