Solution

The correct option is B Psammophytes
  • Psammophytes are plants that thrive in shifting sands, primarily in deserts. They have a number of adaptations that enable them to exist on wind-blown sands.
  • Lithophytes are plants that grow on stones and rocks or in their crevices.
  • Hydrophytes are aquatic plants that live in water and are evolutionarily suited to thrive in aquatic environments.
  • Xerophytes are plant species that have adapted to live in dry or desert conditions. They have evolved to bear and survive in extreme and harsh environments.
