How may a plant respond to severe heat stress?(A) by reorienting leaves to increase evaporative cooling(B) by creating air tubes for ventilation(C) by producing heat-shock proteins, which may protect theplant’s proteins from denaturing(D) by increasing the proportion of unsaturated fatty acidsin cell membranes, reducing their fluidity
