a.They have limited access to nutrients.

Explanation:

The alpine biome is located in the high altitude regions of Andes, Alps and Rocky mountains. The weather conditions are windy and cold. The sunlight is typically intense in these regions. These biomes receives very little precipitations. The soil is nutrient poor because the decomposition rate of plant and animal dead matter is slow. Due to lack of proper nourishment and harsh winter conditions the plants are low growing in the alpine biome.
