Kaliyah Hendricks · Answer 1

The correct answer is letter B. Conifers, trees with needles and cones are the kinds of producers that can be found in this kind of environment. This is because these plants are adaptable to cold weather and they have the ability to store water within their system to enable them to feed and grow despite the harsh environment.

Because of these physical features, the type of producers that we would expect to find in the tundra are A. lichens and low-growing moss.

Because it is usually very cold in the tundra, and there isn't much rain, but there are a lot of rocks around with no grass, the plants that will grow in such a place have to be small plants because they don't have the appropriate conditions to grow and thrive.
