The correct answer is option 3: Tundra vegetation.

Tundra vegetation refers to the type of natural vegetation that is found in regions with extremely cold climates, such as the Arctic and alpine regions. The tundra is characterized by low-growing plants, such as mosses, lichens, grasses, and small shrubs. These plants have adapted to survive in harsh conditions, including freezing temperatures, permafrost (permanently frozen ground), and a short growing season.

Option 1, Temperature deciduous, refers to the type of natural vegetation that is found in regions with moderate climates and distinct seasons. This vegetation is characterized by trees that lose their leaves in the winter, such as oak, maple, and beech trees.

Option 2, Temperature hardwood forests, is not a commonly recognized term. It may either be a typographical error or an incorrect answer choice.

Option 4, Coniferous forests, refers to the type of natural vegetation that is found in regions with cold climates, such as boreal forests. This vegetation is characterized by trees that have needle-like leaves, such as pine, spruce, and fir trees.

Therefore, the correct option is 3, Tundra vegetation, as it accurately represents the shaded areas in the
