Solution

The correct option is B Desert plants
Desert plants tend to have thicker cuticles to cut down transpiration. Cuticles are made up of wax and therefore, they resist water and water does not move through it very easily.
Thicker the cuticle layer, slower will be the transpiration rat.
Cuticle of desert plants need to be thick in order prevent water loss in such dry places like deserts.
