A
Thick stems
B
brightly colored flowers
C
shallow roots
D
large broad leaf surfaces
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dark Green Leaves. Dark leaves absorb more light than pale leaves. Dark leaves help plants that live in shady environments absorb as much sunlight as they can! Dark green leaves are an adaptation to help the plant make food while in a shady environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -They have evolutionary adaptations to handle these low-light environments, which include making broad, thin leaves to capture as much sunlight as they can. But basically if a plant is green, it needs sunlight at some point to grow.

Detailed explanation-3: -Desert plants are adapted to their arid environment in many ways. Small leaves on desert plants help reduce moisture loss during photosynthesis. Small leaves mean less evaporative surface per leaf. In addition, a small leaf in the sun doesn’t reach as high a temperature as a large leaf.
