Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The tropical evergreen rainforest biome is characterized by high temperatures (21-30°C) and heavy annual rainfall (exceeding 200-300 cm) distributed throughout the year [1]. It is often referred to as a megathermal biome due to its adaptation to high heat and moisture. Geographically, it is primarily located in the equatorial belt between 10° N and 10° S latitudes, covering regions like the Amazon Basin, Congo Basin, and Southeast Asia [1]. Statement 4 is incorrect because central and southern California, along with northwestern Africa, are characterized by Mediterranean climates (dry summers and mild, wet winters), not tropical rainforests. The maximum development of the tropical rainforest biome occurs in the Neotropical region (Amazonia), the Zaire (Congo) Basin, and the Indo-Malaysian region [4].
