Which plant, Plant A (short roots) or Plant B (long roots), is a better option for Jayden’s garden if he DOESN'T want to hose it regularly?

• Plant A because the shallow roots reach the groundwater.
• Neither plants because they don't reach the groundwater.
• Both plants because they both are able to survive with the amount of water available.
• Plant B because the long roots reach the groundwater.
