EVOLUTION CONNECTION The history of life has been punctuated by several mass extinctions. For example, the impact of a meteorite may have wiped out most of the dinosaurs and many forms of marine life at the end of the Cretaceous period. Fossils indicate that plants were less severely affected by this mass extinction. What adaptations may have enabled plants to withstand this disaster better than animals

Dissaster like meteorite impacted all type of living forms, however, animals are impacted the most and plants are impacted least. It is possible due to ability of plants to prepare their food on their own as they are autotrophic and use photosynthesis. The raw material for preparing these are easily available that are sunlight, CO2 and water.

They are not depende on other for their cellular respiration. The other major reason is that the Plant seeds can remain dormant in unfavorable conditions for many years in the soil. The roots always provide nutrition even the stems get effected.

the correct answer is - d. china has a large and growing population.

the fact that china has a large (the biggest) population, and it is still growing, doesn't hinder the agriculture production in the country. in fact, it can for increased production in the agriculture, since there's more labor force, as well the sheer mass of people produces lots of scientists that come up with new inventions as to how to improve this sector. nice example is the inner mongolia region in china, in general dominated by the gobi desert, but few scientist came up with a nice idea as to how to make the region productive by using plants that are very resistant to droughts, so lots of people have been employed, and the region is becoming greener and greener each year, and the production of food in this region is also increasing.
