The correct answer is B) Temperate coniferous forest.
Spruce and Cedar are characteristic tree species found in temperate coniferous forests, also known as Boreal forests or Taiga in colder regions. These forests are dominated by evergreen, cone-bearing trees adapted to cold climates and relatively poor soils.
– Equatorial forests (tropical rainforests) are characterized by high biodiversity, broad-leaved evergreen trees, and high rainfall and temperatures year-round.
– Monsoon forests (tropical deciduous forests) are found in regions with a distinct wet and dry season, and many trees shed their leaves during the dry season.
– Temperate deciduous forests are characterized by trees that shed their leaves annually in autumn, found in regions with distinct seasons and moderate rainfall. Examples include oak, maple, and beech.
