Answer:

The right answer to this question is option B. Waxy leaves

Step-by-step explanation:

Some plants present many different kinds of adaptations on this situation without water, on the desert for example, cactus don't use leaves, only spikes, and by doing that, they don't lose too much water on the process. In the case of the creosote bush, it doesn't lose much water too because of the waxy leaves, and this helps it to not lose water through it, and too, because the leaves are very small. This waxy leaf can be found in lots of plants too, and besides this function, it can protect the plant from insects and animals.
