7. Some plants make cones. Other plants make flowers. What is the purpose of flowers and cones?
A. They move water and food throughout the plant.
B. They hold the plant and soil so that it does not blow over in heavy winds.
C. They make seeds so that the plant can reproduce.
D. They take in water and nutrients from the soil.
Coniferous plants (= cone bearing) carry seeds in their cones. This leads me to believe the answer is C because cones do not move water, nutrients, or hold soil.
