e. All of these are correct

Work Step by Step

The location and type of a biome are influenced by multiple factors: Latitude – affects sunlight intensity and day length, influencing temperature and climate. Average annual rainfall – determines whether an area can support forests, grasslands, or deserts. Average annual temperature – influences plant and animal survival, and thus the biome type. Altitude – higher elevations are cooler and can mimic the climate of higher latitudes. All these factors together determine the distribution of biomes around the world.
