I gave my students this multiple choice question: How would a drought most likely affect the plants of a grassy plain?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- There would be shorter plants.
- They would have thicker stems.
- There would be a greater variety.
- They would have brighter flowers.

Could you tell me which one is correct?

There would be shorter plants.
