I am pretty sure that the thing which most likely happen to plants if they did not have a waxy outer coating is being revealed by the last option D. They would be harmed by insects and UV radiation. Every plant has to be protected by membrane so that it would be able to deal with drought small invaders and other external forces.
The could have snuck away on a ship, as they are very sneaky
Use this:
pH = 7 => neutral
pH > 7 => basic (alkaline)
pH < 7 => acidic
So, a pH of 7.6 means the soil is alkaline.
Now, to reduce the impact you should lower the pH.
Sulfur forms acid (H2S or H2SO4) which will lower the pH.
So, adding sulfur will result in the (at least partial) neutralization of the pH and so reduce the impact on plant growth.
Answers: 1) alkaline, 2) sulfur.

both will concentrate in the vinegar layer because both are polar and Hbond with vinegar (an acid)
