living on land required that plants
A
evolve photosynthetic pigments
B
conserve water
C
exchange gases
D
have cell walls
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants will absorb water through their roots and release water as vapor into the air through these stomata. To survive in drought conditions, plants need to decrease transpiration to limit their water loss.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants can require conservation of water if they live in environments which are humid and lacking in a sufficient supply of water. Thus, by conserving their water and reducing their loss, the plants can survive better in those climates.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thick, waxy cuticle – having leaves covered by a thickened cuticle prevents water loss from the leaf surface. Stomata in pits – having stomata in pits, surrounded by hairs, traps water vapour and hence reduces transpiration.
