Answer 2

Option A

They are located near the equator

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, we can observe that all the rain forest zones occur near the equator.

This is because on an annual basis, the equator receives the highest concentration of solar radiation in the whole Earth. This implies that the rate of evaporation of water from the water bodies present is high, and consequently, the amount of rainfall is high also. This abundant sunshine and high rainfall leads to the growth of the tropical rain forests at those regions
