B .  Europe

D .  Africa
Answer: Option D
Answer: (d)
The meaning of the word ‘tundra’ is ‘a region in continents of Asia, Europe and North America, where the growth of trees is prevented due to low temperatures and permanently frozen subsoil’.
These kinds of geographic areas are found near the North Pole and the South Pole. In physical geography, the tundra is a biome where tree growth is hindered by low temperatures and short growing seasons.
There are three types of tundra: Arctic tundra, alpine tundra, and Antarctic tundra. In the tundra, the vegetation is composed of dwarf shrubs, sedges and grasses, mosses, and lichens. Scattered trees grow in some tundra.
