D
Correct answer
Explanation
Temperate regions have coniferous forests with spruce trees adapted to cold winters. Hot deserts feature acacia trees that survive extreme drought and heat. Equatorial rainforests are dominated by broadleaf species like mahogany in constantly warm, wet conditions. Mediterranean regions have oak species adapted to summer drought. The correct matching pairs these climatic conditions with their representative tree species.
