You plan an experiment to clip a third of a plant's biomass to test how a plant species responds to herbivory.This plant is normally grazed on between April to June.You plan to run the experiment through September using a greenhouse.Given your understanding of plant compensation,which prediction regarding fruit production may occur during your experiment?

A) The plant will compensate none the less, and produce just as much fruit because its fitness will otherwise be affected.
B) The plant will die because it will not be able to grow back the clipped biomass.
C) The plant will not compensate and fruit production will decrease because it would likely only compensate during the time of year it is used to experiencing herbivory
D) The plant will produce new shoots to compensate for the clipping
