Answer 2

The correct option is Ability to store water in leafy structures to prevent excess evaporation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Desert plants need to have adaptations so that they can withstand the harsh conditions of the environment. In order to withstand the harsh temperatures of the desert, a quiver tree has leafy structures which help it to store water for long time. In this way, water is prevented to be lost from the tree due to evaporation. Hence, it is an effective adaptation to live in desert conditions.

The Quiver tree also has white powder on is branches to hide from the Sun's rays.
