Answer 2

The correct option for the plants that help to save water is (A) Shedding leaves.

• Plants require photosynthesis. the plant absorbs most of the water through the transpiration pull. the plant uses just one per cent and loses most of it by transpiration from the leaf's surface through stomata.
• So in hot climatic conditions as in deserts or deciduous plants shed their leaf to reduce transpiration. they grow their leaves back in suitable climatic conditions.
• Some plants also form a layer of wax on their leaf surface to reduce the rate of transportation.
