Solution

The correct option is A Xeropytes
Transpiration is the loss of water in the form of water vapour if it takes place through the cuticle, called as cuticular transpiration. This type of transpiration depends on upon the thickness of the cuticle and presence or absence of the wax coating on the surface of the leaves. Xerophytic plants generally have very thick cuticle and wax coating on the leaves and stem in order to check cuticular transpiration. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
