Rainforest cover only 2 % of the total surface area of the Earth but in spite of that about 50 % of plants and animals that live on the Earth live there.

By definition rainforests are forests that recieve high amounts of rainfall so you can actually find rainforests in Alaska for example (other examples: Canada, Asia, Africa, Latin and South-America)

About 1/4 of natural medicines are found in rainforests. 70 % or more of the plants that are used to treat cancer are found only in tropical rainforest on the planet.

Trees in tropical rainforests are so dense that it takes approximately 10 min for the rainfall to reach the ground from canopy.

Misha Larkins [42]

The right option is; b. the water caused an increase in temperature of the air inside the ball and an increase in pressure.

The dent (hollow area formed by pressing or hitting) from the ping-pong ball disappeared because energy was transferred from the hot boiling water in which the ball was placed to the air inside the ball. This transferred energy will increase the temperature of the air inside the ball and the air molecules will begin to move faster with a greater force. Hence, causing an increase in pressure.
