Solution
The correct option is A Lotus
Lotus is an aquatic plant. The leaves of the lotus plant have a thick waxy cuticle that helps in repelling water and keeps the stomata open so that water transport occurs effectively in plants.
Tulsi, neem and tamarind plants have normal cuticle on their leaves as they live in terrestrial habitat.
