The following structures are adaptation for water conservation except A. sunken stomata B. scales in animals C. lenticels in stems D. spines in plants E. thick leaves Detailed SolutionLenticel permits the exchange of gases between the environment and the internal tissue spaces of the organs (stems and some fruits) .
