Solution

The correct option is C

Desert


Xerophytes are plants that are found in dry habitats like the desert. They have special adaptations that help them survive in extreme dry conditions. For example, cactus has sunken stomata, waxy stem and leaves reduced to spines, to minimise the loss of water.
