Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Water scarcity is fast becoming one of the major factors that limit world crop production. In many areas, poor farming methods have led to increasing desertification and the loss of earlier arable lands. Consequently, those plant species that are well adapted to survival in dry climates are being looked at for an answer in developing more efficient crops to grow on slightly arable lands.

Plants use several mechanisms to ensure their survival in desert environments. Some involve simply mechanical and physical adaptations, such as the shape of the plant's surface, smaller leaf size, and extensive root systems. Some of the adaptations are related to chemical mechanisms. Many plants, such as cacti, can retain water because of their inside gums and mucilage. Another chemical mechanism is that of the epicuticular wax layer. This wax layer acts as a waterproof cover to protect the plant. It prevents excessive loss of internal moisture. It also protects the plant from external aggression, which can come from inorganic sources such as gases, or organic sources which include bacteria and plant pests.

Researchers have proposed that synthetic waxes with similar protective abilities could be prepared based on knowledge of desert plants. If successfully developed, such a compound could be used to greatly increase a plant's ability to maintain health in such adverse situations as inadequate water supply, limited fertilizer availability, attack by pests, and poor storage after harvesting.
