• B. The vegetation which found in saline soil ecosystem
• C. Xerophytes

Answer 1

The correct option is B The vegetation which found in saline soil ecosystem

These specialized aerial roots enable plants to breathe air in habitats that have waterlogged soil. The roots may grow down from the stem, or up from typical roots. The surface of these roots are covered with lenticels which take up air into spongy tissue which in turn uses osmotic pathways to spread oxygen throughout the plant as needed.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
