Answer 1

The correct answer is **C. A large geographical area with distinct plants and animals.**A biome is a major ecological community characterized by dominant vegetation and animal life adapted to a particular climate and environment. Deserts and tundras are examples of *types* of biomes, not a definition of the term itself. The land surrounding a lake or ocean might be *part* of a biome, but it doesn't define what a biome is. And the study of biology is, of course, completely different.
