Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. The phrase "a biome that contains millions of species" is a nonrestrictive appositive modifying "The Amazon Rainforest." It must be set off by commas on both sides. The sentence already provides the opening comma after "Rainforest," so a closing comma is required after "species."
