Solution
The correct option is B
Arabidopsis
Plants are
categorised into three groups based on their uptake of heavy metals -
indicator, excluder and hyperaccumulator. Hyperaccumulator is a
plant capable of growing in soils with high concentration of metals.
They absorb through their roots and concentrate them in their
tissues. The concentration is toxic to other species not adapted to
grow on such soil. Arabidopsis belonging to the family
Brassicaceae is a hyperaccumulator. Hence, the correct
answer is 'Arabidopsis'.
