Statements: Jade plant has thick leaves and it requires little water.
Conclusions:
- All plants with thick leaves require little water.
- Jade plants may be grown in places where water is not in abundance.

I think option D is correct as if jade plants require less water so less water can be also given in places where there is abundant water.
It is not necessary to be grown in places where water is not in abundance.
It is not necessary to be grown in places where water is not in abundance.

I agree with B answer because they say that they require less water, so, it means that they grow in a deserted area like cactus in deserts.

How can the 2nd conclusion is correct? Because it is purely an assumption. So, neither one nor two.

I think D is correct because they need little water that means water should available nearby.

Option A is also correct because it follows simple inductive reasoning i.e. specific to general. As jade plant require less water because of their thick leaves; thus, every plant with thick leaves requires less water.
