Refer to the figure. The global pattern of Net Primary Production (NPP) in the figure shows two peaks in the northern hemisphere-one at 45^oN latitude and one at 0^oN latitude. These two peaks are primarily due to which climatic factors that control NPP? A) Oceanic upwelling is highest at the equator and mid-latitudes, and most of the globe is covered by the ocean. B) Mid-latitudes and the equator have the narrowest daily thermal variation, reducing temperature constraints on photosynthesis. C) The primary forests of the world are found at 45^oN latitude and oat 0^oN latitude. D) The wettest terrestrial ecosystems globally are found at 45^oN latitude and one at 0^oN latitude due to global circulation patterns.
