The correct option is D Halophytes
A number of halophyte plants possess small negatively geotropic vertical roots, called as pneumatophores. Pneumatophores have lenticels for gaseous exchange. They are connected with internal aerenchymatous tissue.This arrangement is to tide over water logged condition of the soil where underground roots cannot exchange gases with the surrounding soil.
So, the correct answer is 'Halophytes'
