A. A pine tree grows well in a taiga evergreen forest in Canada, while a barrel cactus grows well in a desert in Arizona.

This option illustrates how different locations (biomes) are suitable for different types of organisms due to their specific environmental conditions. Pine trees thrive in the cooler, moist conditions of the taiga, while barrel cacti are adapted to survive in the arid conditions of the desert.
