Solution

The correct option is A deciduous
Perennial plants which shed their leaves during stressful conditions such as low temperature, drought, etc., are called deciduous plants. Generally, during autumn season, in order to overcome the upcoming winter season, plants shed their leaves and enter into an inactive state like hibernation. As soon as the winter ends, they again start to perform their normal functions.
