Answer:

The correct answer is D. The Amazon Rainforest doesn't touch Argentina.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Amazon is a vast region of the central and northern part of South America that includes the rainforest of the Amazon river basin. The adjacent regions of the Guayanas and the Gran Chaco also have rainforests, which is why they are often considered part of the Amazon.

This Amazon rainforest is the most extensive tropical forest in the world. Its extension is considered to reach 7,000,000 km² (seven million square kilometers) distributed among nine countries, of which Brazil and Peru have the largest extent, followed for Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Guyana, France (French Guiana) and Suriname. The Amazon stands out for being one of the ecoregions with the greatest biodiversity on the planet.
