While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
<ul> <li>Sequoia trees can live more than 3,000 years.</li> <li>They can grow over 90 meters tall.</li> <li>The General Sherman tree, by volume, is the largest single-stem tree on Earth.</li> <li>Sequoia bark can be up to 60 cm thick, providing fire resistance.</li> <li>Their cones require fire to release seeds.</li> </ul> The student wants to emphasize how the sequoia is adapted to fire. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?Which choice most effectively makes the student's point?
- A
Sequoia cones release seeds in response to certain conditions.
- Bcheck_circle
Sequoia bark can reach 60 cm thick to resist fire, and the cones rely on fire to release their seeds.
- C
Sequoias can live more than 3,000 years and grow over 90 meters tall.
- D
The General Sherman tree is the largest single-stem tree by volume.
Explanation
The goal is fire adaptation. Choice B names two distinct adaptations, both fire-related. A and C address other traits; D is too vague to convey the adaptation.
