Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: –In option A, Savannah is referred to as a grassland ecosystem. It contains trees widely spread over large areas, making it the correct answer. Africa is the most popular continent for savannahs. Savannahs are of varying nature depending on various climatic conditions.

Detailed explanation-2: -A savanna or savannah is a mixed woodland-grassland (i.e. grassy woodland) ecosystem characterised by the trees being sufficiently widely spaced so that the canopy does not close. The open canopy allows sufficient light to reach the ground to support an unbroken herbaceous layer consisting primarily of grasses.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vegetation. The savanna biome is often described as an area of grassland with dispersed trees or clusters of trees. The lack of water makes the savanna a difficult place for tall plants such as trees to grow. Grasses and trees that grow in the savanna have adapted to life with little water and hot temperatures.
