tundra

I can definitely help you with this question! The biome you are describing, which is a cold, dry area with very little sunlight during the winter, is known as the tundra.

To arrive at this answer, let's briefly discuss each of the given options:

a. Coniferous Forest: This biome is characterized by evergreen trees, such as pines and spruces. It can be found in regions with cold winters, but it does not match the description of a cold, dry area with very little sunlight during the winter.

b. Temperate Deciduous Forest: This biome consists of trees that lose their leaves in the fall. While it may have cold winters, it is not typically dry and does not match the description of limited sunlight during the winter.

c. Grassland: Grasslands are characterized by vast stretches of grass with few to no trees. They can be dry, but they generally do not experience extremely cold winters with limited sunlight.

d. Tundra: This is the correct answer. The tundra biome is a cold, dry area found at high latitudes (near the Arctic Circle) or high altitudes. It experiences frigid temperatures, little precipitation, and very short days with little to no sunlight during the winter months.

Therefore, the correct answer is d. tundra. Good luck on your make-up test!
