The term "alpine tree line" refers to the elevation above which trees cannot grow due to harsh alpine conditions such as low temperatures, strong winds, and short growing seasons. This typically occurs between the montane forest and the alpine tundra zones. Northern tree line refers to the same phenomenon but in the Arctic regions, not in the montane region. Northern tundra refers to the vast treeless region of the Arctic that is characterized by permafrost and low-growing vegetation. Boreal forest refers to the vast forest region that dominates much of Canada, Alaska, and Russia, and is characterized by coniferous trees such as spruce, fir, and pine. Therefore, the best choice is A.
