Solution
The correct option is D stem
Cactus has their leaves modified to spines to reduce the loss of water from their aerial parts or transpiration. They have deep roots that penetrate the ground in search of water. Their stem has a waxy coating to reduce transpiration and is thick to store water and food. Thus, the thick stems of cactus store water and food.
