Xerophytes minimize water loss by view available hint(s) xerophytes minimize water loss by using the c3 pathway developing a casparian strip between their leaves and stem having leaves with a large surface-to-volume ratio reducing the thickness of the leaf cuticle using the cam pathway

Use the CAM pathway

Explanation:

Xerophytes are plants  that have adapted to arid climates. They have evolutionary developed adaptations to reduce the rate of transpiration so as to conserve water.Among the adaptations include; thick cuticle, small, thick leaves, reducing the surface area relative to the volume of the leaf, etc.Additionally, they use CAM pathway as an alternative photosynthetic pathway to minimize water loss.
