Q: What kind of water are cattails adapted for with narrow, strap-like leaves? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Living in water does present challenges to plants, however. For one thing, pollination by wind or animals isn't feasible under water, so aquatic plants may have adaptations that help them keep their flowers above water. For instance, water lilies have bowl-shaped flowers and broad, flat leaves that float. This allows the lilies to collect the maximum amount of sunlight, which does not penetrate very deeply below the water's surface. Plants that live in moving water, such as streams and rivers, may have different adaptations. For example, cattails have narrow, strap-like leaves that reduce their resistance to the moving water (see Figure below ). Choices: - stagnant water - saline water - turbulent water - moving water A:

moving water
