A
Tropical Dry Forest
B
Tropical Grassland
C
Temperate Grassland
D
Temperate Woodland/Shrubland
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Temperate grasslands have cold winters and warm summers with some rain. The grasses die back to their roots annually and the soil and the sod protect the roots and the new buds from the cold of winter or dry conditions. A few trees may be found in this biome along the streams, but not many due to the lack of rainfall.

Detailed explanation-2: -Temperate forest (a.k.a.-Temperate deciduous forest*), Which type of biome is characterized by broadleaf deciduous trees, cold to moderate winters, warm summers, and year-round rainfall?

Detailed explanation-3: -The tundra is the coldest of the biomes. It also receives low amounts of precipitation, making the tundra similar to a desert. Tundra is found in the regions just below the ice caps of the Arctic, extending across North America, to Europe, and Siberia in Asia.

Detailed explanation-4: -The arctic is known for its cold, desert-like conditions. The growing season ranges from 50 to 60 days. The average winter temperature is-34° C (-30° F), but the average summer temperature is 3-12° C (37-54° F) which enables this biome to sustain life.
