the ability to store water the ability to attract insects the ability to stop predators the ability to drop its leaves
I gave my students this multiple choice question: Brian knows deserts get less rain than other ecosystems. However, he also knows that plants can survive in the desert. Which characteristic of a plant most likely helps it live in a desert?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- the ability to store water
- the ability to attract insects
- the ability to stop predators
- the ability to drop its leaves

Could you tell me which one is correct?
