Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

Correct! The answer is D) taiga.

The taiga biome, also known as the boreal forest, stretches across Canada and extends down the Sierra Nevadas and Rocky Mountains. It is characterized by its large coniferous forests, which are dominated by trees like spruce, fir, and pine. The taiga biome is known for its long, cold winters and short, cool summers.

To arrive at this answer, you can use your understanding of biomes and the given description. Typically, deserts are characterized by arid conditions and lack of vegetation, which contradicts the description. Grasslands are dominated by grasses and are not associated with coniferous forests. Tundra, on the other hand, is a cold biome characterized by low-growing plant life, such as mosses and lichens, and lacks the large coniferous forests mentioned in the description. Deciduous forests are characterized by broad-leafed trees, not coniferous forests. Thus, the best fit for the given description is the taiga biome.
