Pineapple is a ______ plant.

Xerophyte

The correct answer is Option (3) – Xerophyte

Pineapple is a Xerophyte.

Explanation:

• Xerophytes are plants that are adapted to arid or dry conditions. They have special adaptations to minimize water loss and thrive in environments with limited water availability.
• Pineapple (Ananas comosus) exhibits xerophytic adaptations. It has thick, waxy leaves that help reduce water loss through transpiration, and it can survive in relatively dry conditions.
