Which characteristics enable plants to survive on land? a. cellulose c. cuticle b. fruit d. all of the above

the most appropriate answer would be c. cuticle

Cuticle refers to the waxy layer present on the surface of the leaves. it prevents or reduces the loss of water from the leaves.

When plants started to live on lands they develop cuticle which used to help in sealing the water in the plants and thus, used to help in reducing the water loss.

However, it also prevented the exchange of gases which was necessary for photosynthesis. As a result, small pores or stomata developed in the leaves.
