Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

Trees grow faster in places that receive sunlight for a lesser duration.

Photoperiod is the duration of time when an organism receives sunlight during a day. Sunlight is essential for the growth of plants. Thus, in places that receive sunlight for a longer duration, trees grow faster. In places that receive sunlight for a lesser duration of time, plants have stunted growth.
