b. They would be closely spaced to form dense ground cover

Explanation:

The best way for the coyote brush plant to conserve water and withstand the high winds will be to stick together and form a dense ground cover over the area. This will allow for effective breakage of the high wind by the populating brush plants. Also, the root population can create a gradient that will allow water levels to rise up in order to become accessible by the root.
