Solution

The correct option is B Sagittaria
In hydrosere, the reed swamp stage refers to shallower water, amphibian plants or plants with emergent leaves eg. Sagittaria, Phragmites, Typha. They add more silt ad humus at the bottom. The reed swamp stage vegetation later on gives rise to Marsh meadow stage or Sedge.
