Due to physical constraints, maximizing one life history trait (e.g. height) often comes at the expense of another (e.g. longevity); the allocation between such desirable but incompatible traits is known as:a) life history
b) growth and development
c) trade offs
d) all of the above

The growing season is the part of the year during which local weather conditions (i.e. rainfall and temperature) permit normal plant growth. While each plant or crop has a specific growing season that depends on its genetic adaptation, growing seasons can generally be grouped into macro-environmental classes.
