Question

Which of the following hold good for desert vegetation?

• A. The plants need abundant water.
• B. The plants generally have no or smaller leaves.
• C. The plants can survive with less water.
• D. Vegetation is similar to that in forests.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B The plants generally have no or smaller leaves.
C The plants can survive with less water.

Desert plants are so adapted that they can easily survive conditions like extreme sunlight and lack of water.
They generally have no or smaller leaves to prevent loss of water.
Therefore, the desert vegetation is not similar to vegetation in the forest.
