Solution
The correct option is D Parenchymatous cells specialized for this purpose
A xerophyte is a species of plant that has adapted to survive in an environment with little liquid water, such as a desert or an ice- or snow-covered region in the Alps or the Arctic. The xerophytic plants conserve water by storing it in parenchymatous cells specialized for this purpose. They are typically able to withstand long periods of drought and the drying effects of desert winds. Xerophytic plants can have less overall surface area than other plants, so reducing the area that is exposed to the air and reducing water loss by evaporation. Some plants have adapted to arid lands by developing the ability to store water. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
