Answer:3.
Explanation: Cactus spines are basically modified leaves. They defend the cactus against herbivores but also assist in reducing water loss by reducing air flow to the cactus, which provides shade. And due to no leaves the cactus stems are what carry out photosynthesis. In simpler terms, the water on leaves can be lost due to evaporation, but cactus spines don’t.

Julie listed out fossil fuels are a non-renewable source of energy and Fossil fuels are becoming more expensive.

Option C

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Fossil fuels are defined as the type of non renewable energy which is formed as a result of dead and decaying organic matter over thousands of years under pressure and temperature of Earth’s core.

This type of fuels are formed due to the dumping of dead prehistoric organisms like dinosaur and others under the soil under a tremendous pressure and very high temperature, where they are acted upon by bacteria and other chemicals to reduce them into petroleum and coal. These are totally non renewable and they are getting expensive over days due to shortage of availability.
