Solution

The correct option is A Nymphaea
Rooted Hydrophytes with Floating Leaves:
The roots of these type of hydrophytes are fixed in mud, but leaves have long
petioles which keep them floating on the water surface. Except leaves, the restof the plant body remains in water. Some examples are Nelumbo nucifera,
Nymphaea stellate (water lily), Trapa, Marsilea.
So the correct answer is 'Nymphaea'.
