Solution

The correct option is C Savanna
Savannas are biomes which are dominated by a mix of grasses and small trees. Savannas cover 60% of Africa and represent a transition from tropical forests to deserts. Trees in savannas are usually drought deciduous. Several savanna types associated with differing rainfall patterns, the height of the water table and soil depth can be distinguished by their relative abundance of trees and grass.

So the correct option is 'Savanna'.
