Question

A. Broad leaves to capture more sunlight
B. Deep roots to access water

Answer

The correct option is Deep roots to access water. This answer is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to suggest how organisms are adapted to the conditions in which they live using supplied information in the subtopic Communities.

Explanation

The correct option is Deep roots to access water. Deep roots to access water is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to suggest how organisms are adapted to the conditions in which they live using supplied information. This belongs to the subtopic Communities within Adaptations, interdependence and competition, so the explanation must stay tied to that curriculum context. The other options are incorrect because they either do not answer this learning objective, use a vague statement, or move away from Communities.
