The right answer is A. greater leaf surface area.
In botany and agronomy, the specific leaf area (SFS) is defined as the ratio of the leaf area to the dry weight of the leaf (expressed in m².kg-1).
The specific leaf area reflects the "thickness" of the leaves and has a particular physiological significance. This parameter is correlated positively with the photosynthetic capacity of the plant.
The specific leaf area can be used to estimate the reproductive strategy of a particular plant based on, among other factors, light and moisture levels. The specific leaf area is one of the most widely accepted key features used in the study of leaves.
Explanation:
Definition of monocot
: a chiefly herbaceous angiospermous plant (such as a grass, lily, or palm) having an embryo with a single cotyledon, usually parallel-veined leaves, and floral organs arranged in multiples of three : monocotyledon Monocots account for a quarter of all flowering plants.
The answer to your question is D) punctuated equilibrium.
The theory of Punctuated Equilibrium states that extremes in the environment cause sudden evolution; a long period of time precedes the sudden evolutionary changes.
