Answer 2

Answer:

In a cactus the leaves are changed to spines to reduce loss of water...

Explanation:

The plants which grow and survive in the desert conditions have certain modified adaptations. The cactus plants grow in the desert area. In order to prevent the loss of water in these arid conditions, the leaves of the plants have been modified into sharp pointed thin structures known as spines. These spines reduce the surface area for preventing loss of water.

So, the correct answer is 'Spines'
