Solution

The correct option is B
Both b and c are wrong

Cactus survives in deserts due to following adaptations: It has a flat green stem to store water and prepare food by photosynthesis. The stem is also covered with a thick waxy layer, which helps to retain water. Its roots go very deep into the soil for absorbing water. Leaves turn into spines to prevent loss of water.
