A
temperate rain forest
B
tropical rain forest
C
both tropical and temperate rain forest
D
none of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tropical Forest Biomes Tropical forests are found in areas centered on the equator (Figure 4). Central and South America possess half of the world’s tropical forests. Climate in these biomes shows little seasonal variation (Figure 5), with high yearly rainfall and relatively constant, warm temperatures.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tropical and temperate rainforests have some things in common. Both have very dense vegetation. Trees in temperate and tropical rainforests have trunks that flare out at the bottom and both types of rainforests are endangered biomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct response is desert. The desert environment is characterized by low rainfalls (less than 25 cm per year). They are one of the most dry biomes on the planet. The desert biome also has highly variable temperature swings, with high temperatures during the day and low temperatures at night.
