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.
  • So, the correct answer is ' Lotus'.
