| A. | Crown |
| B. | Canopy |
| C. | Understorey |
| D. | Forest floor |
| Answer» C. Understorey | |
|
Explanation: In ecology, understorey refers to a layer of vegetation beneath the main canopy of a forest. It comprises plant life growing beneath the forest canopy without penetrating it to any great extent, but above the forest floor. Only a small percentage of light penetrates the canopy so understory vegetation is generally shade tolerant. |
