Solution
The correct option is B Drought resistants
Cactaceae have many adaptations that make them drought resistant in dry areas. They have a thick and hard-walled stem that helps in water storage. The stems of Cactaceae are fleshy and photosynthetic. A thick and waxy coating of it helps the cactus from evaporating excess water. Instead of leaves, most of them have spines or scales which are modified leaves. These spines and scales do not lose water through evaporation and protect the cactus from herbivores.So, the correct answer is 'Drought resistants'
