Solution
The correct option is B Vivipary Vivipary is the phenomenon of germination of seeds inside the fruit while it is still attached to the parent tree. Such adaptation is found in halophytes. Viviparous plants produce seeds that germinate before they detach from the parent. In many mangroves, for instance, the seedling germinates and grows under its own energy while still attached to its parent.
