Solution

The correct option is A Aquatic plants
Epistomatic stomata is having stomata on the upper surface of the leaf. This type of stomata is mostly found in aquatic plants. Aquatic plants float on the surface of the water and therefore stomata are not found in the lower epidermis. Stomata are found on the upper epidermis because for direct exchange of gases between the leaf and the atmosphere.
