No of stomata
B
Thickness of cuticle
C
Loss of leaves
D
All of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Modification leaves into spines. Presence of thick cuticle. Sunken stomata. 03-Jul-2022

Detailed explanation-2: -Adaptation such as spines, thick cuticles, and sunken stomata helps the plant to reduce the rate of transpiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Types of Adaptation in Plants There are three types of adaptation-structural adaptation, behavioral adaptation, and physiological adaptation.

Detailed explanation-4: -The reduced surface area of leaves. The thick cuticle on leaves reduces water loss. Some plants have stomata only on the lower side. Succulent plants store water to survive dry weather. More items

Detailed explanation-5: -Small leaves-these ensure that less water is lost from the plant by transpiration because the leaf has a smaller surface area. Tap roots-these are long roots (7-10 metres long) that reach deep under the ground to access water supplies. More items
