参考答案: D
本题详细解析:
Choice D is correct because the large surface area of the leaf increases the amount of light it can absorb on the rainforest floor.
Choice A is incorrect as the wax on leaves is a protective layer which helps plants to retain water, and plants absorb water via their roots.
Choice B is incorrect as these plants are found on the ground and not in water, so this adaptation is not appropriate.
Choice C is incorrect as leaves do not curl up to collect water, especially in tropical environments.
