Solution

The correct option is A Desert
Desert biomes are characterized by low, unpreventable sporadic rainfall with seasonal and daily temperature fluctuations.
Tropical rainforest and deciduous forest are among the highest and moderate rainfall biomes respectively. Taiga biomes receive rainfall in summers and little in winters also. Tundra is characterized by desert-like precipitation although deserts receive low and unpredictable rainfall.
Therefore, the correct answer is option E.
