Correct answer: D. Xerophyticमरुस्थलीय
Explanation
Xerophytes (desert plants) reduce water loss by converting leaves into spines, as in cactus. So spiny leaves are a characteristic of xerophytic plants.मरुद्भिद (मरुस्थलीय) पौधे जल की हानि कम करने के लिए पत्तियों को काँटों में बदल लेते हैं, जैसे नागफनी। अतः काँटेदार पत्तियाँ मरुस्थलीय पौधों का गुण हैं।More Environmental Studies (EVS) questions
