Answer 1

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The Tundra biome covers the highest latitudinal areas i.e. the polar regions. It is characterized by extremely low temperature throughout the year and the area receives less amount of rainfall. There are very few number of trees present in this area because this biome does not provide the necessary conditions for their growth such as rainfall and sunlight. The organisms living in this biome are adapted to this extreme cold temperature and their body is comprised of fur which helps them to survive in that environment.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
