In this question, fill each gap with the most appropriate option from the list provided. To check desertification in the arid zones, …… trees should be planted.

  1. drought-proof
  2. drought-resisting
  3. drought-effective
  4. drought-resistant ✓
Explanation

The correct word is drought-resistant. Plants that are drought-resistant can survive with little water, so they are right for the dry zones.

“Drought-proof”, “drought-resisting” and “drought-effective” are not the standard way to describe plants like this.
