Solution

The correct option is D Desert plants
Leaves are very small or reduced to spines in desert plants. This helps in reducing loss of water from the leaves through transpiration. The leaf-like structure in cactus is the stem that carries out photosynthesis. It is covered by a waxy layer, which helps the plant to retain water.
