Answer: C). Temperatures in the tundra range from extreme highs to extreme lows.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tundra is a one of the coldest biomes of the world. It exhibit high precipitation rate of snow fall. The soil remains permafrost so cannot support the growth of the trees. The climate is typically of low weather condition, therefore, does not exhibit wide temperature range. The alpine tundra biomes are found in the mountain tops.
