Solution
The correct option is D Xerophytes Xerophytes are plants which are adapted to survive in dry areas. Vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) is very well developed in xerophytes. The root system is well developed, extensive and much branched. Leaves of xerophytes are reduced or modified to various kinds of structures to minimise transpiration. Stems in some xerophytes are modified to thorns or are succulent.
