Answer:

B.) The vegetation must be able to adapt to unreliable precipitation and excessive heat

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The Sahara desert is located in northern Africa is considered to be the longest and the largest desert in the world with an area of 9,200,000 kilometers square.
  • Being hot and arid in and driest place on earth the vegetation is mostly composed of woodlands and the shrubs and comprise about 2800 species of vascular plant such as the acacia trees.
  • The palms, spiny shrubs, and grasses that live by storing water in their large and thick stems to be used at dry times, they thus have very long roots that spread horizontally to find any surface moisture and have small thick leaves prevent the water loss by the evaporation.
