The correct answer is **b. tolerate nutrient-poor soil**.
Chaparral ecosystems are characterized by dry summers and wet winters, often with poor soil fertility, so plants native to this region are adapted to thrive in such conditions. They typically have morphological and physiological adaptations that enable them to survive in these environments.
