The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Terms**: Start by defining the terms provided in the options: biomes, biogeographical regions, ecosystems, and biospheres. This will help in distinguishing between them. 2. **Defining Biomes**: A biome is a large regional unit characterized by specific climatic conditions, major vegetation types, and associated animal species. Examples include deserts, grasslands, forests, and tundra. 3. **Identifying the Examples**: The question lists deserts, grasslands, forests, and tundra. These are all distinct types of biomes, each with unique climate and vegetation. 4. **Eliminating Other Options**: - Ecosystems: While they include both biotic and abiotic components, they are smaller than biomes and do not specifically refer to the large regional units mentioned in the question. - Biospheres: This term refers to the global sum of all ecosystems, which is a broader concept than biomes. - Biogeographical regions: These are more related to physical geography rather than biological characteristics. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the definitions and examples, the correct answer to the question is that deserts, grasslands, forests, and tundra are examples of biomes. **Final Answer**: Deserts, grasslands, forests, and tundra are examples of **biomes**. ---
