The correct option is B (b) Only 2
Sundari Trees are mangroves and they are characteristic littoral plant formation of tropical and subtropical sheltered coastlines
They require high solar radiation and have the ability to absorb fresh water from saline/brackish water.
It produces pneumatophores (blind roots) to overcome respiration problem in the anaerobic soil conditions.
Mangroves exhibit Viviparity mode of reproduction. i.e. seeds germinate in the tree itself (before falling to the ground). This is an adaptative mechanism to overcome the problem of germination in saline water.
