Answer:

A. The temperatures are too high.

Explanation:

A desert is a region with extremes of temperatures and little to no rainfall.

Organic matter are the remains of organisms that have died. They are a very important component of soils.

Where temperatures are very extreme, there would be little to no life. Only special organisms that have evolved to adapt will survive such region.
