Conclusion II: All plants with thick leaves require little water. Correct Answer Only conclusion I follow

Conclusion I: Cactus plants may be grown in places where availability of water is less →True

Conclusion II: All plants with thick leaves require little water → False

The statement only describes cactus plants and not all the plants who have thick leaves. Hence conclusion II does not follow.

In the statement, it is well stated that only cactus plants have thick leaves and require less water. Hence it does not apply to all the kinds of plants which have thick leaves. Therefore statement II does not follow.
