D
Tropical Thorn Forests
Why: These characteristics perfectly match Tropical wet evergreen forests, found in regions with rainfall over 250 cm, high temperatures (25-27°C), humidity above 75%, and trees that remain evergreen without seasonal leaf shedding due to no dry period[4].
Question 4 of 5

B
1 and 2 only
C
1 and 3 only
D
1, 2 and 3
