Solution
The correct option is B Taiga
Taiga is considered, as one of the largest terrestrial biomes which,extends from high northern latitudes, between the tundra, and the temperate forest, from about 50°N to 70°N. It is characterized by long, cold winters, and short, mild, wet summers.The cold breeze from artic regions makes the winters chilly, while summers are short and moist. The large variation in climate is seen because during summers the northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun , so the rays are direct and summers are extremely hot with high precipitation. While during winters, the northern hemisphere tilts away from the sun which leads to chilling cold in winters and precipitation falls as snow.
