Well, first off the spongy mesophyll does have some chloroplasts, however they are located quite far from the surface of the leaf where most of the chloroplasts are. Therefore they don't get much light and don't contribute a lot to photosynthesis in the leaf. So why should the leaf waste the energy in making chloroplasts if there is not enough light to make them all efficient enough at photosynthesis?
C, because it protects the cell from the outside environment
He would say that Lamarck's theory is wrong. Lamarck's theory stated that traits that are used are passed on to the offspring. In other words, if an organism changes during its lifetime in order to adapt to its environment, then its changes will be passed on to its offspring. This is wrong because this means that organisms pass on traits based on genetic information and not based on the environment of the offspring.
Hope this helps.
Pretty sure it would be A it makes the most sense
