Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

Thick Cuticle : Desert plants (xerophytes) have a thick, waxy cuticle on their leaf surfaces to minimize water loss through transpiration and evaporation.

•Special Photosynthetic Pathway : Many desert plants use Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM). This pathway allows them to keep their stomata closed during the day to conserve water and open them at night to collect carbon dioxide
