d. Low-growing
Moss campion's cushion (low-growing) form and small leaves reduce wind exposure and heat loss, helping it retain warmth and moisture in the harsh alpine environment. The other options (waxy needles, cone shape, thin trunks) describe traits of other plants (e.g., conifers) not moss campion.
