Answer 2

d. Tropical dry forest

Step-by-step explanation:

Tropical dry forest is a tropical forest where enough precipitation occurs to support trees. However, the rainfall is not enough to support the lush vegetation of a tropical rain forest. These biomes are mostly found in areas with distinct rainy and dry seasons. Annual rainfall is 150 to 200 cm (60 to 80 in). The plant species are able to survive the dry seasons which may last as long as 2 to 3 months. During the dry season, many tropical trees overcome the dry season by shedding their leaves and becoming dormant.
