Q. Plants developing in dry conditions are
  • (A) xerophytes
  • (B) mesophytes
  • (C) lithophytes
  • (D) hydrophytes
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) xerophytes

Explanation:

Xerophytes are plants that are adapted to dry (arid) conditions where water is scarce.

They have special features to reduce water loss and store water, such as:

Thick cuticles to minimize evaporation.

Sunken stomata to reduce transpiration.

Fleshy stems or leaves for water storage (e.g., Cactus).

 

Other Options:

Mesophytes β†’ Grow in moderate water conditions (e.g., Mango, Rose).

Lithophytes β†’ Grow on rocks (e.g., Lichens, Orchids).

Hydrophytes β†’ Grow in water (e.g., Lotus, Water Hyacinth).
