Answer:

A. A thick, waxy covering to prevent evaporation.

Explanation:

Because the desert is usually dry and hot, plant that live in these ecosystems need to adapt to the environment to prevent the loss of water. Water escapes from plants through their leaves as a result of photosynthesis. Desert plants have special adaptations to at least reduce the loss of water and one of them is the thick waxy covering of the leaves to seal in the water.
