  Deciduous Forest
Correct Answer
D. Deciduous Forest

Explanation
Deciduous forests are characterized by trees that shed their leaves in autumn and winter. This is an adaptation to survive the cold and dry conditions during these seasons. The falling of leaves helps conserve water and energy for the trees, as well as protect them from freezing temperatures. The changing colors of the leaves is a result of the breakdown of chlorophyll, revealing other pigments such as red, orange, and yellow. This phenomenon is a unique and beautiful characteristic of deciduous forests during autumn.
