The correct option is C c) Water hyacinth
10 Ans.C
Explanation: Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is a fast growing, free-floating aquatic weed. Floating aquatic plants are capable of assimilating large quantities of trace elements and heavy metals, some of which are essential for plant growth. The uptake of these elements is often increased when plants are cultured in wastewater containing high levels of macronutrients. They have the ability to absorb heavy metals. Heavy metals and other trace contaminants enter surface and groundwater in various ways and adversely affect flora and fauna
