Question

    Drought tolerance in plants is due

    to:
    A Improved water uptake Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Conserving moisture Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Mitigating stress mechanism Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Mitigating stress mechanisms are responsible for drought tolerance in plants. These mechanisms include various adaptive responses and physiological changes that enable plants to survive and thrive in water-deficient conditions. While improved water uptake and conserving moisture are important aspects of drought tolerance, they are often achieved through these stress-mitigating mechanisms.
