The answer is (a.) They have limited access to nutrients

In the alpime biome, plants are hardly to grow. The soil found in these areas are rocky and sandy causing the plants to have limited access to nutrients from the soil. Sunlight is very strong on these areas causing the soil to dry which is very challenge for the plants.
