Question

Which of the following plant adaptations is not found in deciduous forests?

a.
They have broad leaves.
b.
They can absorb nutrients from the ground.
c.
They stretch toward the Sun.
d.
They keep their leaves year round.

Answer 1

d. They keep their leaves year round.

Deciduous forests are characterized by trees that lose their leaves seasonally (usually in autumn), so keeping leaves year‑round is not an adaptation found there. The other options (broad leaves, nutrient absorption from soil, and growing/stretching toward sunlight) are typical.
