What type of vegetation is mostly found in the Thar Desert?

Correct answer: Thorny bushes

The direct answer is option A: thorny bushes. The Thar Desert has very low and irregular rainfall, high evaporation, dry air, and often sandy or rocky soil. Plants surviving there must reduce water loss. Thorny bushes and scrub commonly have small leaves, spines, deep roots, or fleshy parts; these features help them conserve or obtain scarce water. Option A is correct because it describes xerophytic desert vegetation. Option B, mangrove forests, need saline wet coastal or tidal conditions, not the generally dry desert interior. Option C, coniferous forests, are usually associated with cooler mountain environments. Option D, dense rainforests, need abundant and regular moisture and do not match the Thar climate. Some grasses and scattered drought-resistant trees may also occur, but the broad school-level answer is thorny bushes. Memory cue: desert means little water, so think thorny, sparse, drought-adapted plants.
