What is so special about tropics that they account for a greater biological diversity?

Options:

Tropical lattitudes have remain undisturbed for millions of years and thus had a long evolutionary time for species diversification.

Tropical environments are less seasonal, relatively more constant and predictable.

More solar energy in tropics results in higher productivity ,thus accounting for a higher diversity.

All of these
