Answer 1

Answer:

Option: A, B and C are correct and true.

Explanation:

The vegetation in Cold desert biome is nearly absent due to the permafrost condition and other unsuitable conditions for the vegetation.

Only mosses and lichens grow in spring while even their vegetation is limited in all other seasons.

Apart from vegetation, the cold desert biome receives an annual rainfall of 6-10 inches, the animals do hibernate for longer times and they also burrow in order to escape the harsh climatic conditions. The soil in this biome is generally heavy and course due to weak chemical actions.
