alpine and grassland

Explanation:

To determine the two ecosystems with the least rainfall, we analyze each option:

• Tundra has low precipitation (cold, dry), and desert is extremely arid (very low rainfall).
• Deciduous forest has moderate rainfall, alpine varies but not among the least.
• Grassland has more rainfall than desert/tundra.
• Alpine and grassland: grassland isn't among the least dry.

So tundra and desert receive the least average rainfall.
