In which of the following are the biomes listed in order from hottest to coldest?

While coral reefs can be warm, they are not typically considered a biome in the same context as forests and tundras. The Antarctic sea, being part of the polar regions, is much colder than both the coral reef and a freshwater lake, which can vary in temperature but generally do not reach the extremes of colder biomes.

This choice incorrectly places the temperate forest as the hottest biome. While the temperate forest has moderate temperatures, savannas, which are warmer and experience distinct wet and dry seasons, should be placed higher in temperature compared to temperate forests and prairies.

This option ranks deserts, but it misrepresents their temperature characteristics. The Sahara Desert is typically the hottest of the three, given its extreme temperatures, while the Gobi and Patagonian Deserts are generally cooler, especially the latter due to its location in the Southern Hemisphere.
