While many people think of genetic manipulation of food crops as being aimed at
developing larger and larger plant varieties, some plant breeders have in fact
concentrated on discovering or producing dwarf varieties, which are roughly half as
tall as normal varieties.
Which of the following would, if true, most help to explain the strategy of the plant
breeders referred to above?
(A) Plant varieties used as food by some are used as ornamentals by others.
(B) The wholesale prices of a given crop decrease as the supply of it
increases.
(C) Crops once produced exclusively for human consumption are often now
used for animal feed.
(D) Short plants are less vulnerable to strong wind and heavy rains.
(E) Nations with large industrial sectors tend to consume more processed
grains.

According to the question we need to solve the paradox and explain the reason for each type of species being used.
Answer says D.
Even if short plant are vulnerable to wind and heavy rain , it doesnt explain why taller plants are used .
Also D doesnt say that they are less vulnerable than the taller species.
Could anyone resolve this paradox  please ?
