C
There is frequent flooding and the soil is nutrient-rich.
D
The soil is frozen and contains pockets rich in nutrients.

Explanation

Tundra vegetation is limited because the ground remains frozen for much of the year, making it difficult for plant roots to grow and absorb water. The short growing season and nutrient-poor soil also restrict plant growth. So the best answer is “The soil is frozen and devoid of nutrients.”
