B

The plant leaves are an adaptation to increase photosynthesis.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the given statements about the plant modifications and draw conclusions based on them. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze the First Statement**: - The stem is described as "green and fleshy." - This suggests that the plant has adapted to store water, which is a common characteristic of plants in arid environments. 2. **Analyze the Second Statement**: - "Leaves are reduced to spines." - This indicates that the plant has modified its leaves to spines, which helps reduce water loss through transpiration. This adaptation is typical in desert plants. 3. **Analyze the Third Statement**: - "Plant has deep-seated stomata." - Deep-seated stomata help minimize water loss by reducing exposure to air, which is again an adaptation seen in xerophytic (desert) plants. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the three statements, we can conclude that these modifications indicate that the plant is adapted to survive in a dry environment, specifically a desert habitat. - Such plants are known as xerophytes. 5. **Identify the Correct Option**: - The correct conclusion from the options provided is that the plant is found in an area where there is a large difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures, which is typical for desert environments. ### Final Answer: The plant is found in an area where there is a large difference between temperature, day time and night time. ---
