Solution

The correct option is C Xerophytes
Plants living in dry conditions are called as xerophytes. These plants show many morphological and structural adaptations to survive in dry conditions. In stem the mechanical tissue is well developed and also bark is well developed to retain water
The mechanical tissue is least developed in hydrophytes to avoid resistance to water current
So, the correct answer is 'Xerophytes'
