Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So the presence of critical and a small number of samara is an adaptation to and so were given certain scenarios that this could be related to. So I want you to think about it in this way. These cattle calls are these waxy Lakers and these wax ledgers are surrounding the plan. In order to prevent waterless because of this, we're going to cancel our answer choices, B and C. Leaving us with an answer choices A and D. Now arc articles and the small number of samarra present in hydro fights. Or are there present in zero fights while these hydro fights are present in aquatic environments? While the zero fights are present in more dry environments. Since the zero fights are going to be present in drier environments, it makes sense that they're going to have more of these waxy layers in order to prevent water loss because if they lost all their water, this will be very dangerous, very detrimental for them because of this. They are going to be the correct answer choice and we will highlight answer choice as the final answer to a question. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next
