Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tundra biome has relatively low species diversity due to its extreme climate and harsh conditions. Temperate grasslands have slightly higher species diversity, but still much lower than tropical rainforests, which are known to have the highest species diversity on the planet. Therefore, the list that correctly places them in order from lowest to highest species diversity is A.
