Solution

The correct option is C Tundra
Tundra biome is located in the far north and is characterized by persistent soil ice (permafrost) throughout the growing season which in turn does not allow growth of any vegetation. Mosses, lichens, grasses and grasslike sedges are the dominant vegetation. Thus, the correct answer is C.
