Detailed explanation-1: -Subtropical hot deserts can have daytime soil surface temperatures above 60oC (140oF) and nighttime temperatures approaching 0oC (32oF). Subtropical deserts are characterized by low annual precipitation of fewer than 30 cm (12 in) with little monthly variation and lack of predictability in rainfall.

Detailed explanation-2: -Desert Biomes Deserts generally occur in a band around the world between 15–30° N and S latitude (Figure 4). They cover between 26–35% of the land surface of the Earth. The climate of deserts is dominated by low precipitation, generally below 250 mm yr-1 (Figure 7).

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘Tropical Rainforest’.

Detailed explanation-4: -The tundra biome is characterized by extremely low temperatures, little nutrients, short growing season, low precipitation, and presence of permafrost. Permafrost is a layer of frozen soil and plant matter that is permanently frozen all year round.

Detailed explanation-5: -The tropical rainforest biome gets the highest precipitation or rainfall annually. Most regions get at least 200 cm to about 430 cm rain annually. Deserts and tundra get the least amount of precipitation.
