The correct answer is - B. Tierra Templada.

The term Tierra Templada refers to the places that are in the tropical region but are on a higher elevation and are cooler than the lowlands. Tierra Templada regions are found between the elevation of 750 meters and 1850 meters above sea level. Because of their elevation, and being close to the Equator, these places do not have extremes in the temperatures, and the average temperatures are from 18 (the coldest month) to 22°C (the warmest month). The amount of precipitation is in solid amount, and the soil is of relatively good quality, so it is an excellent place for the agriculture to develop, and the plants like the coffee, wheat, corn, and tobacco, thrive in this conditions.
