Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Gross primary productively of tropical rain forests & esturies is 200000 Kcal/`m^2//year` . Total area of esturaies and reefs is estimated to be `2xx10^6 Km^2` while that of tropical & subtropical rain forests is `14.7xx10^6 Km^2` . Thus , beacause of larger area the total production of tropical rain forests comes out be much higher than that of esturaies
