Solution

The correct option is D Canary grass
Plants shows different kinds of structure in response to the environment during their development. This is called as plasticity. For example, heterophyllous development occurs in cotton, coriander and larkspur. In these plants, leaves of the young plants are different in shape than the leaves of mature plants. Buttercup also shows plasticity. In this, the shape of leaves is different in air and in water.
Thus, the correct answer is option E.
