Answer:

The correct option is D) It extends about 1600 miles on both sides of the equator.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tropical climate can be described as regions of the Earth where the mean temperature remains greater that 18 degrees Celsius during all the twelve months of the year.

A tropical climate is also known as 'equatorial', because places found on or close to the Equator are typically tropical: they're warm and wet. The tropical zone includes the Amazon Basin of Brazil, West Africa's Congo Basin and the rainforests of Malaysia and Indonesia.
