Answer:
The correct answer is option c. "shallow roots".
Explanation:
Some plants had developed shallow roots as an adaptation to permafrost. The artic plants have shallow roots because the permafrost does not allow the plants to push its roots deep down under the frozen topsoil looking for liquid water. Most arctic plants have a very short growing period of time since the liquid water above the frozen topsoil lasts liquid only from 50 to 90 days per year.
