Answer 2

The Correct Answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

• The great temperature and precipitation of tropical rainforests generate lifeless nonchemical elements in the soil to disintegrate more swiftly than in other environments, thus liberating and wasting its nutrients immediately.
• A large amount of rain in tropical rainforests removes nutrients out of the soil more immediately than in other environments.
