Solution

The correct option is B Swollen leaves
Living stones are also called pebble plants. Each pebble is actually a leaf with a cut window that lets in light. The swollen leaves are adapted to desert conditions, minimising water loss and storing water. The stone like appearance deceives the animals and saves it from being eaten.
