उत्तर
Broad leaves
Explanation:
Desert plants are xerophytes; they often store water as succulents, develop very long roots to reach groundwater, and reduce leaf area (tiny leathery leaves or leaves modified into spines) to cut down transpiration and protect against grazing. Broad leaves would increase water loss and so are not characteristic of desert vegetation.
