Solution
The correct option is B Sciophytes
The plants which grow best at lower light intensities are called sciophytes. Sciophytes have few branches and long stem. They have thin, large, etiolated and less hairy leaves. The cuticle of these leaves is thin. The palisade cells form few layers. The thin layered epidermis may contain chlorophyll. The spongy tissue is well developed with large intercellular spaces. Photosynthetic cells and mechanical tissue are poorly developed in these plants. They have developed many adaptations for displaying their foliage to light. They may be twiners, climbers or epiphytesSo, the correct answer is 'Sciophytes'
