they are very correct, y'all just need to understand English
when you say it is resistant to fire that mean it won't be able to gwt burnt which is wrong, if they have used reduced burning rate or something like that...... it would be more correct
the thick back of a tree generally help to reduce the rate at which a tree get burnt, that doesn't mean the tree still won't get burnt.... and the thick bark does not generally protect the tree from fire 
it also helps to conserve water in case of xerophytes(desert plants)...this means it reduces the rate of transpiration...... i hope this helps
The heavy thick bark of trees in savannah habitats mainly protects them from the scorching sun. The savannah climate is characterized by high temperatures and low rainfall, which can result in drought conditions. Trees in these habitats have evolved to adapt to these conditions, and their thick bark helps to protect them from the intense heat and sunlight. The thick bark reduces the rate of water loss through transpiration, but this is a secondary benefit to its primary function of protecting the tree from the sun's radiation
The correct answer is D. resist bush fires.
Trees in savannah habitats often develop heavy, thick bark as an adaptation to protect themselves from frequent bush fires. The thick bark acts as insulation, reducing the damage caused by heat and flames. This allows the trees to survive and recover from fires that would otherwise be lethal.
The other options are not the primary reason for thick bark in savannah trees:
A. Reduces the rate of transpiration: While thick bark may have some effect on transpiration, it is not the main reason for its development in savannah trees.
B. Protects them from the scorching sun: Savannah trees often have adaptations like leaves with hairy or waxy coatings to protect against intense sunlight, but thick bark is not primarily for this purpose.
C. Protects them from heavy winds: While thick bark may provide some mechanical protection, it is not the main reason for its development in savannah trees.
Thick bark in savannah trees is mainly an adaptation for fire resistance, allowing them to thrive in areas with frequent bush fires.
The answer is D . Please Myschool know that leaves have to do with transpiration and not barks.
