Answer:

D. More than half of the Earth's plant and animal species live in rainforests.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The rainforest biome on the wold is a character by the high and continuous rainfall and this causes the trees in the tropical rainforest o be about 2.5 and 4.5 meters in height. The presence of the ITCZ zone also favors the development of tropical rainforests.
  • About 40 to 70% of the species are endemic to these forets. The forest restricts the flow of the sunlight to the ground and hence the top layers have great diversity.
  • Impacts of the global warming and the climate change are destroying and degrading the quality and the habitats of the fret at a faster rate and hence about 40-50 % of these have got depleted thereby impacting the livelihood of the species.
