I took the test and the answer is not shear, so don't put that one. My next choice would have been strain.
Answer:
Underground stem, Aerial stem, and subaerial stem.
Explanation:
Plant stems can be Underground stem, Aerial stem, and subaerial stem due to its presence and strength of the stem. Underground stem are thick stems that run below the ground surface. e.g rhizome. Aerial stems are thin stems that can not stand erect. Examples include watermelon and strawberry etc. Subaerial stems are very thin stems that do not rise up but grow just above the ground. for example, water plantain, flowering rush etc.
The answer is 3(x-2)(x+2)
Correct answer - A (Elephants have few offspring, so they need to protect them from predators.)
Why? - The herd is led by the oldest and often largest female in the herd, called a matriarch. They live in herds so that the young elephants stay safe from predators.
