Question

question 14: cut floral materials benefit from floral preservatives that ______ the water ph. a. lower b. mechanics c. terracing d. balance e. scale submit answer

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the context of floral preservatives and water pH. Floral preservatives are used to maintain the health of cut flowers, and balancing the water's pH is crucial for their longevity. "Lower" (A) is too specific as pH might need adjustment in either direction, "Mechanics" (B) and "Terracing" (C) are irrelevant, and "Scale" (E) doesn't fit. "Balance" (D) makes sense as preservatives aim to keep the pH at an optimal level for the flowers.

Answer:

D. Balance
