Biologist hypothesize that the first land plants had a low, sprawling growth habitat. Which of the following is part of the logic behind that theory? A. The low sprawling growth gave them greater surface area exposed to light for photosynthesis. B. This was prior to plants’ development of adaptations to defend themselves from predators, so by growing low they were out of sight of most predators. C. The wind speed was much greater at that time that it is now, and pushed the plants over. D. To obtain water, they had to keep their tissues in direct contact with moist soil. 2.
