B. areas with distinct plant communities and associated with particular climates

Explanation:

Biome refers to a large, relatively distinct terrestrial region that is characterized by similar climate, soil, plant communities irrespective of its location on the Earth. The large geographic area of a biome includes many interacting landscapes. Biomes mostly represent the major climate zones of the earth, with temperature and precipitation being most important.

For example, desert biomes are characterized by low precipitation, seasonal and daily variations in temperature and are homes to the perennials and annuals that can withstand the prevailing conditions.
