Hot deserts have relatively low plant productivity due to extreme temperatures, limited water availability, and harsh environmental conditions. Temperate grasslands have higher plant productivity compared to hot deserts, as they receive more rainfall and have a longer growing season. Tropical forests exhibit the highest plant productivity per day per unit leaf area, as they receive abundant rainfall, have warm temperatures, and high levels of sunlight throughout the year, supporting dense vegetation and high rates of photosynthesis. Hence, the correct option is 3.
