A
taiga
B
savanna
C
temperate deciduous forest
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Deserts can be either cold or hot, although most of them are found in subtropical areas. Because of their extreme conditions, there is not as much biodiversity found in deserts as in other biomes. Any vegetation and wildlife living in a desert must have special adaptations for surviving in a dry environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct option is ‘Deciduous forest and arctic tundra’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tropical Wet Forest. Tropical wet forests are also referred to as tropical rainforests. This biome is found in equatorial regions (Figure). The vegetation is characterized by plants with broad leaves that fall off throughout the year.

Detailed explanation-4: -Rainforests receive the most rain of all of the biomes in a year! A typical year sees 2, 000 to 10, 000 millimeters (79 to 394 inches) of rain per year.
