Having warm weather all year with a distinct winter and summer season where winter is a long, dry, and slightly cooler season with only 4 inches of rain on average, and summer is a very hot, humid, and wet season with 15 to 25 inches of rain, with monsoon rains beginning in May describes the _______ biome(s).

Answer
A
rainforest
B
savanna and grassland
C
deciduous forest
D
chaparral

Explanation

The savanna and grassland biome has warm temperatures throughout the year, with a distinct dry season and a hot, rainy season. The long winter receives only about 4 inches of rain, while summer brings 15 to 25 inches and monsoon rains beginning in May. A rainforest is generally wet throughout the year, so it does not fit the long dry winter.
