Answer:

A. The plant would wilt.

Explanation:

In order to stay healthy and fresh, plants like every other living organism require certain substances. One of those substances is WATER, which the plant gets by absorption via the root hairs. The water circulates throughout the plant with the aid of a water-conducting vascular tissue called XYLEM. Without the xylem, water will not be transported throughout the plant.

The xylem tissue helps provide structural support to the plant as it helps the plant cell to be turgid. A non-functional xylem means the conduction of water is impossible, hence causing the plant cells to become flaccid and lose strength; a process called wiltering.

Downstream river would have less water, so there would be less fish to catch.

River re-routing is a process wherein the mouth of the river is mouth to another location. Thus, existing mouth of the river will lose its water source and have less water. Fishes in the existing river path will decrease because of the decreased level of water.

Paraphin [41]
An igneous rock can be formed from cooled magma. The igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is broken down by wind or water. The sedimentary rock can become metamorphic if it becomes buried in the earth, where pressure and heat would turn it into a metamorphic rock. The metamorphic rock can then become an igneous rock by melting underground and turning into magma, flowing out of a volcano, and cooling.
