选项 A、Regardless
B、Beneath
C、Despite
D、Since
答案 C
解析 介词辨析题。句意为：尽管热带雨林只覆盖了地球表面的12％，它们却是世界上绝大多数动植物的家园……。首先排除regardless，它通常要跟介词of搭配，表示“不管，不顾”，而空格后没有任何介词；再从语义层面辨析，beneath表示“在……之下”；since表示“自……以后；既然”，均不符合原文句意，故排除。despite表示“尽管，不管”，例如：Despite their grievances，they came to one conclusion．(尽管不满，但他们的结论一致。)符合句意，故为答案。
