Which of the following is true of deciduous forests?

Answer
A
characterized by four seasons
B
trees maintain their leaves year round
C
precipitation is concentrated in one season
D
averages 5-10 inches of precipitation annually

Explanation

Deciduous forests are characterized by four distinct seasons. Many of their trees lose their leaves in autumn and grow new ones in spring, so they do not keep their leaves year-round. They also receive more than 5–10 inches of precipitation annually, generally spread through the year rather than concentrated in just one season.
