Solution

The correct options are
B Fleshy stems
C Thorns
Tropical thorny forests have sparse vegetation and are found in semi-arid areas of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Haryana. Cacti have fleshy stems which help them to store water. They also have thorns instead of leaves. These features reduce the amount of water lost through transpiration.
