The correct answer is - Leaves.
 
The actual leaves of the cactus plant are microscopic and the spines occur in clusters in the axil of leaves. Research says that the cactus spines are either modified leaves or modified bud scales.

Although it is known that the leaves of the cactus are modified into spines to avoid evaporation of water, it also acts as extra-floral nectaries and provides shade in addition to protection.
