Solution
The correct option is B Optimize photosynthesis
Each plant organ, originally evolved to meet certain needs of the plant.
For example, roots evolved primarily to anchor the plant and also absorb water and mineral nutrients from soil. Leaves were adapted to optimize photosynthesis.
Stems evolved to reach out to sunlight and also served to conduct water from roots to leaves.
