Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer would be B, Succulents.

Explanation:

CAM plants are mostly Succulents.  

Succulent is a word that is derived from Latin word sucus which means Juice or Sap.  

In the branch of science that deals with the structure of plants, succulent plants are the plants that have some parts that are thickened and fleshy than normal. These parts of the plants store water in arid climates and due to soil conditions. Stomata remain closed during day to reduce photo respiration in such type of plants and are open in night to collect Carbon Dioxide.
