Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Death Valley’s outstanding natural beauty and scientific importance were first brought to the attention of the National Park Service in the late 1920's. With the support of Stephen Mather, Director of the National Park Service, Death Valley’s national significance was recognized, and it was proclaimed a national monument by President Hoover on February 11, 1933. With the passage of the Desert Protection Act of October 31, 1994, Death Valley was designated a national park. Today Death Valley National Park is made up of 3,336,000 acres and contains more than 3,000,000 acres of wilderness. There are over 1000 plant species in Death Valley National Park, including 13 species of cactus and 23 endemics - plants that are known to grow only in the Death Valley region. In its surrounding mountains you can find spectacular wildflower displays, snow-covered peaks, beautiful sand dunes, abandoned mines and industrial structures, and the hottest place in North America. Some years the desert is spectacular with wildflowers; other years the blossoms are almost nonexistent (but never totally absent). A good wildflower year depends on at least three things: well-spaced rainfall through-out the winter and early spring sufficient warmth from the sun, and lack of desiccating winds. The best time to see a spring floral display is in years when rainfall has been several times the Death Valley annual average of about 1.9 inches.
