Solution

The correct option is A Nerium
Xerophytes (Nerium) 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 and the stomata on the leaves are reduced or sunken to minimise transpiration.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
