Which of the following pairs is a mismatch ?

  • A.Evergreen trees - Coniferous forest
  • B.Thorny trees - Savanna
  • C.Permafrost - Tundra
  • D.Epiphytes - Prairie

Answer: D

The mismatch is Epiphytes - Prairie.

Epiphytes, plants such as orchids and ferns growing on other plants, are typical of tropical rain forests, where trees provide support and humidity is high. Prairies are temperate grasslands with few trees, so they have almost no epiphytes.

The other pairs are correct. Coniferous forests are dominated by evergreen trees; savannas have scattered thorny trees such as acacias among grasses; and the tundra is defined by permafrost, permanently frozen subsoil.
