Ā·
Correct:
A
Explanation
The correct choice is Temperate Coniferous forests. A book source explicitly states that āat the global scale, temperate coniferous forests cover the highest percentageā of forest area, directly identifying this biome as the largest contributor globally [1]. This dominance is consistent with global forest distribution data showing that very large contiguous forest regions ā notably those in the high-latitude and temperate zones (for example, the extensive forested area of the Russian Federation and other northern countries) ā make up a substantial share of the worldās forest area, reinforcing why conifer-dominated temperate/boreal forests represent the largest biome by area [2].
