The correct option is A Halophytes
Halophytes are plants of saline habitats, which have not only the ability to tolerate high concentration of salts in their rooting medium but are able to obtain their water supply from the same. Halophytes grow in saline soils, mangroves, coastal dunes and tidal marshes. They have a high osmotic pressure. Most halophytes possess succulence as well.
