The answer is c. Deciduous trees lose their leaves to prevent nutrient and water loss.

Losing leaves is a trees' strategy to survive cold winters. It is known that trees primarily lose water through leaves. In the winter, there is no enough water to replace that lost water. If the trees were not to throw away their leaves, they will soon dry out. Also, before falling the leaves begin, reabsorb all nutrients from the leaves and store it for the cold winter. Thus, losing leaves is important to prevent both nutrient and water loss during the winter.

The control minimizes the effects of variables other than the independent variable.

In the above experiment, starch has to be eliminated and replaced with water. Water does not have starch hence the digestive enzyme being tested will not have any effects making the data and results from the experimental group reliable.
