Question

The plants growing in dry environment possess

• A. Thin cuticle
• B. Poorly developed xylem
• C. Sunken stomata
• D. Aerenchyma

Answer 1

The correct option is C Sunken stomata

The plants growing in dry environment faces high temperature and lower humid conditions. The rate of transpiration is high and leads to heavy loss of water. Plants needs to preserve water by curtailing the rate of transpiration. The sunken stomata trap moist air which reduces diffusion and reduces water loss. Plants with sunken stomata often have fewer stomata in general than the other plants.

So, the correct answer is option C.
