Solution
The correct option is A Cactus
Rose, Tulsi and Lily are plants that need considerable amount of water for survival. Cactus on the other hand can survive extreme water scarcity as it is a desert plant. Desert plants store water in their specialised fleshy stems. Their leaves are modified into spines to minimise transpiration. Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water through pores or stomata present under the surface of the leaves.
