The correct option is A Capparis
Capparis decidua (family Capparidaceae) is commonly known as kair. It is
distributed throughout the arid regions of India and other countries. Kair is a caducous plant, so in the foliage condition mainly stem and fruits are common. It is also known as Capparis aphylla.
Since the plant is xerophytic, it is generally found in dessert area and is highly draught resistant plant, which can survive for long. Tribal people prepare pickle from the fruits of kair.
