Solution

The correct option is C Sphagnum
Canadian Sphagnum, peat moss is a natural, organic soil conditioner that regulates moisture and air around plant roots for ideal growing conditions. Sphagnum accumulations can store water, since both living and dead plants can hold large quantities of water inside their cells; plants may hold up to 1 billion times as much as water as their dry weight depending on the species.
So, the correct answer is 'Sphagnum'
