Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Drought escapers or ephemerals are short-lived xerophytes, which do not have the capacity to tolerate drought. During critical dry periods, they survive in the form of fruits and seeds, which have hard and resistant seed coats and pericarp, respectively. At the return of favourable conditions, which are of very short duration, these seeds germinate into new plants, which complete their life cycle within few weeks.
