The Wallace`s Line is an important geographic feature that separates the flora and fauna of Southeast Asia and Australasia. It was named after Alfred Russel Wallace, a renowned biologist and explorer who noticed the distinct differences in the species found on either side of this line. The line runs through the deep water of the Lombok Strait, Bali Sea, and Makassar Strait, and marks the transition between two distinct biogeographical realms: the Asian and the Australian.

Option 1, Canada and USA, is incorrect as the Wallace`s Line does not have any relationship to the flora and fauna of North America.

Option 2, Taiga region and Tundra region, is incorrect as the Wallace`s Line does not differentiate between these two regions. The line is specifically associated with Southeast Asia and Australasia.

Option 3, Mexico and Central America, is also incorrect as the Wallace`s Line is not relevant to the flora and fauna of this region.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4, South-East Asia and Australasia.
