The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the type of plants that grow in dry habitats. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Lithophytes**: These are plants that grow on bare rocks or stones. They do not specifically thrive in dry habitats; hence, they are not the correct answer. - **Option 2: Mesophytes**: These plants require moderate conditions of water, sunlight, and temperature. Since they need a normal amount of water, they cannot survive in dry habitats. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **Option 3: Hydrophytes**: These are aquatic plants that grow in water. They require a lot of water to survive and cannot be found in dry habitats, making this option incorrect as well. - **Option 4: Xerophytes**: These are plants adapted to survive in dry habitats, such as deserts. They have special adaptations to conserve water, making them suitable for arid environments. Examples include cacti and succulents. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis of all options, the correct answer is **Option 4: Xerophytes**. ### Final Answer: Plants growing in dry habitats are **Xerophytes**. ---
