Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Grasslands are typically found in areas where there is not enough rainfall to support a forest but too much rainfall to support a desert. This makes the area between a forest and a desert (known as a biome transition zone) a prime location for grasslands. Option A can be ruled out as it mentions an annual precipitation of over 115 cm, which is not typical for grasslands. Option C is incorrect as grasslands are not suitable for forests due to the lack of trees and shade. Option D is also incorrect as drought and fire are actually common occurrences in grasslands.
