English ivy is a plant that has the ability to grab onto objects and grow upward to get sunlight. This ivy can also be found growing flat along the ground. What causes the variation in the ivy growth? A. The ivy grows according to how its parents grew, and ivy that grows upward must be a different species than ivy that grows along the ground.
B. The ivy grows where it will be able to blend into its environment to avoid predation.
C. The ivy grows where it will receive the least amount of sunlight for photosynthesis.
D. The ivy grows according to its environment, and ivy that grows upward has things nearby to climb, while ivy that grows on the ground does not.

I think its C but I'm not really sure this is more like an educated guess haha because I know that ivy grows the best in partial to full shade.

Explanation:

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
