Answer 1

D

All three factors differentiate tropical and temperate rainforests: their geographic locations (near the equator vs mid- to high latitudes), the dominant tree types (tropical broadleaf evergreens vs many temperate conifers/deciduous species), and the average temperatures (tropical are warm year-round; temperate are cooler with seasonal variation).
