Isnt a comma splice? How is A correct?
No, Poojita, there is no comma splice to be found in the original sentence. The type of comma splice in question would appear if there were two independent clauses connected by nothing more than a comma—i.e. without a conjunction present. Check for independent clauses by identifying a subject and verb:

a) The flower is so rare that it is found in only one type of habitat

b) rain forests at the highest humidity levels

There is no verb in the second part. Instead, we get a noun followed by a prepositional phrase. Putting everything together, we can tell that the latter part of the sentence is a modifier, one that reaches back, across the comma, to describe the type of habitat mentioned.

I hope that clarifies the matter. Good luck with your studies.
