Solution

The correct option is D Mangroves
Pneumatophore is an aerial root specialized for gaseous exchange. Pneumatophores commonly found in mangrove species that grow in saline mudflats, are lateral roots that grow upward out of the mud and water to function as the site of oxygen intake for the submerged primary root system. Thus the correct option is D.
