The correct option is D Tropical rain forest A tropical rain forest is an ecosystem type that occurs roughly within the latitudes 28 degrees north or south of the equator in the equatorial zone between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. Temperate coniferous forest is a terrestrial biome found in temperate regions of the world with warm summers and cool winters and adequate rainfall to sustain a forest. The mid-latitude deciduous forest biome is located between the polar regions and the tropics. Chaparral is a shrubland found primarily in the U.S. state of California and in the northern portion of the California Peninsula, Mexico.
