Answer:
Options (1), (2) and (3)
Explanation:
The plants grow in the region where there is abundant sunlight, rainfall, carbon dioxide that allows them to undergo the process of photosynthesis. The plants are difficult to grow and develop in the desert, dry and highland areas.
It is because, in the dry areas such as desert, the moisture content is very low and low amount of rainfall, which becomes difficult and challenging for the plants to grow.
In the polar (tundra region), the temperature remains cold throughout the year and in the polar region, water is present in the form of ice. Due to this, the plants in this region are short and have thick stems. It is difficult for them to grow. So a limited number of plants exist.
The highland areas are the high elevated areas, in which the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide is comparatively low, which does not provide the necessary conditions for the plants to grow. So it causes difficulty for them to grow.
Hence, the correct answers are options (1), (2) and (3).
