Consider the following characteristics of a grassland: 1. An extensive area of mid latitude grasslands are devoid of trees and shrubs. 2. The climate is characterised by hot summers, cold winters and relatively low rainfall occurring mainly in spring and summer. 3. In humid parts, grasses grow to a meter or more in height. On the basis of the above characteristics, select the correct grassland from the options given below:

The Prairies of North America are temperate (mid-latitude) grasslands devoid of trees and shrubs over vast stretches. They experience hot summers and cold winters with relatively low rainfall occurring mainly in spring and early summer. In the eastern, more humid parts of the Prairies (tall-grass prairie), grasses can grow to a metre or more in height. Steppes of Eurasia are drier with shorter grass, Savanna is tropical with scattered trees, and Pampas of South America is mostly subtropical-humid. Hence the description best fits Prairies.
