Answer 1

The correct option is A Because less surface area in these plants is exposed to direct sunlight thereby less amount of water is lost by traspiration.

As the desert regions have very less to no water, only bushes and thorny plants grow here as they have very less surface area exposed to sunlight so that very less to no water is lost from them. This makes them adaptable to the harsh weather conditions.
