Solution

The correct option is B Marsilea
There are about 65 species of Marsilea distributed all over the world. They are hydrophytic or amphibious plants. They grow rooted in the mud of marshes and shallow pools. Marsilea vestita and some other species grow in shallow ponds. Marsilea quadrifolia is an aquatic fern, which anchors itself to the muddy bottoms of quiet, shallow lakes and streams.
So, the correct answer is option B.
