Xerophytes are plants that have adaptations to survive in dry or arid conditions. These adaptations can include features such as reduced leaf surface area, thick cuticles, water-storing tissues, deep root systems, and mechanisms to minimize water loss, such as closing stomata during hot and dry periods. Xerophytes are generally adapted to conserve water and withstand extended periods of drought.

While some xerophytes may have mechanisms to escape drought through strategies such as drought dormancy or shedding leaves during dry periods, this is not a defining characteristic of all xerophytes. Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
