Answer 1

The correct option is B X: Wax coating on leaves, Y: Desert, Z: Yak

• Waterlily is an aquatic plant. It has a hollow stem with air spaces which helps it to float on water. It also has a waxy coating on its leaf to avoid rotting of leaves in water.
• Cactus is a desert plant. Since, water is scarce in deserts, plants have deep roots which help them to absorb water from deep soil.
• Yaks have thick fur on their bodies. It acts as an insulator which keeps them warm even in extremely cold conditions.
