Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - Pine tree.

Explanation:

Coniferous trees or cone-bearing trees normally called conifers adapted their leaves and have needles like leaves that retain more water. Needles do not appear to be leaves but are modified leaves.

Conifer trees adapt this leaf modification to prevent water loss due to transpiration in the case of dry air or atmosphere. Important members of the conifer trees are pine trees, cedars, spruces, and Pines.
