plants in death valley and the sonoran and mojave deserts thrive despite the heat.
desert plants have adaptations that enable them to survive despite their limited access to water.

Explanation:

The details provided are about different desert plants (wildflower seeds in Death Valley, creosote bush in Sonoran and Mojave Deserts, velvet mesquite in Sonoran Desert) and their adaptations related to water (sprouting when it rains, cloning itself, long - reaching roots). The topic sentence should cover the general idea of desert plant adaptations for water survival. The first option "Deserts are home to a strange and beautiful array of plant life" is too general as it doesn't mention the key aspect of water - related adaptations. The second option "Plants in Death Valley and the Sonoran and Mojave Deserts thrive despite the heat" focuses on heat rather than the main water - related adaptations described. The third option "Desert plants have adaptations that enable them to survive despite their limited access to water" directly relates to the water - based adaptations (sprouting when it rains, cloning, long roots) of the plants in the given details.

Answer:

Desert plants have adaptations that enable them to survive despite their limited access to water.
