Solution

The correct option is C Halophytes
A halophyte is a plant that grows in high salinity. Epiphytes are plants that grow on other plants but are not parasitic, for eg. orchids. Pssamophytes are plants that grow on sandy regions. Parasites are organisms that grow on or inside other organisms and use up the host nutrients and hijack host machinery for their own survival, thus harming the host.
