The Taiga or Boreal Forest is Best Described as What

Question

The taiga or boreal forest is best described as what type of forest?  
A) Deciduous
B) Thorn
C) Coniferous
D) Broad-leafed
E) Shrub

Accepted Answer

The taiga or boreal forest is primarily made up of coniferous trees, such as spruce, fir, and pine. Deciduous trees lose their leaves annually, which is not a characteristic of the taiga. Thorn, broad-leafed, and shrub forests may exist in other regions, but are not typical of the taiga.
