Solution

The correct option is A Epistomatic
Nelumbo (Indian lotus) is a water plant with large floating leaves. It has stomata on the upper surface and not on the lower surface. Such a plant is called as epistomatic due to presence of stomata on upper surface of leaves. Usually land plants have more stomata on lower surface to discourage transpiration loss of water.
