Solution

The correct option is A. tape grass

Epihydrophily is the type of pollination where the transfer of pollen occurs at the surface of water.

In tape grass or Vallisneria the female flower grows underwater, but the carpel is long and can reach the water surface. Therefore, the stigma of the female flower is present on the water surface. The male flower is present on the water surface where it releases the pollen grains.

Therefore, the pollen grains move from the anther of the male flower to the stigma of the female flower through the water surface, resulting in pollination in tape grass.
