Solution

The correct option is A Shedding leaves
Usually, plants shed leaves or store water in their leaves to reduce transpiration. Usually, deciduous plants lose their leaves to conserve water or to better survive winter weather conditions, they must regrow new leaves during the next suitable growing season. In some plants, leaves are covered with a layer of wax to prevent evaporation of water from their surfaces.
