Joshua trees cannot germinate and grow as easily in today's warmer climate. Which of these actions would be most likely to help the species survive climate change?

limiting growth to winter
growing in a range farther north
becoming a mature plant without leaves
limiting the height of the tree

Growing in a range farther north would be the most likely action to help Joshua trees survive climate change. As the climate warms, the current range of suitable habitat for Joshua trees may become less suitable, making it difficult for them to germinate and grow. Moving to a range farther north, where conditions are currently more suitable, would allow Joshua trees to continue their life cycle and adaptation to the changing climate.
