Solution

The correct option is B Halophytes
Halophytes are salt resistant plants. They are the plants of saline habitats, which have not only the ability to tolerate high concentrations of salts in their rooting medium but are able to obtain their water supply from the same. Halophytes grow in saline soils like sea shores and marshes. They have high osmotic pressure and possess succulence as well.
