Which example illustrates an adaptation that allows trees to survive in the taiga, a biome known for its cold, snowy winters and warm, rainy summers?
•Needles have more surface area than leaves, allowing them to absorb more of the sun's rays for photosynthesis.
•Evergreen trees grow all year, crowding out other trees so they have more room for their extensive root systems.
•Needles need not be replaced every spring, increasing the amount of energy available for the short growing season.
•The shape of leaves allows snow to build up on branches, which acts like an insulating blanket throughout the winter.
