Solution
The correct option is D All of these
Pinus is a gymnosperm. The leaves in gymnosperms are well adapted to withstand the extremes of temperature. Presence of sunken stomata (not freely exposed to the atmosphere), thick cuticle (reduces loss of water by diffusion from the top cells of the leaves) and needle-like leaves (reduced surface area exposed to the atmosphere) play an important role in reducing water loss.
