Answer:

Option (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The tundra biome occurs in the higher latitude region, which mostly covers the polar and the near-polar region. The climate in this biome is extremely cold, as it receives a very lesser amount of sunlight. Due to the lack of sunlight, the plants and trees cannot grow taller and broader. It is usually characterized by a frost-molded landscape, with little or no precipitation. Here, the winter is long and the summers are very short. The organisms existing in this biome are adapted to the extremely cold temperature, by the presence of furs in their body. Some of the organisms living here are the penguins and the polar bears.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4)- all of the above.
