Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Amarbel

Cuscuta is a parasitic angiospermic plant. It produces fruits and seeds. The seeds can survive for about 5-7 years and can cause infection in many plants that are of horticultural importance or are dicotyledonous crop plants. The plant can regrow from it's haustoria and cause infection. Therefore, literally the plant does not die or rather it can tide over various unfavourable conditions.

So, the correct answer is 'Amarbel'
