Solution

The correct option is C Desert
C. Desert
Reason: Deserts have been variously classified as true deserts showing less than 120mm per year rainfall and extreme deserts showing rainfall approximately 70mm/year. In desert biomes, evaporation from soil always exceeds rainfall by 70 to 50 times. So the correct option is C.
