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.
