A?

melodydude · Answer

well two answers are obviously eliminated

anonymous · Answer

i think it is either D or A but im not entirely sure

anonymous · Answer

I see your point.  It depends on whether or not you consider flower pigments to be part of "structure".  Certainly flowers themselves are structures.
Also, plants may have special structures to curl around tree trunks, but I believe some of them do it without any special structures.

anonymous · Answer

I read D "brightly colored flowers" as including the structure of the flower.

melodydude · Answer

in short "A" is not a structural adaption of a plant

anonymous · Answer
