Solution

The correct option is C hydrophytes
In hydrophytes, mechanical tissues such as sclerenchyma; conducting tissues such as xylem and absorbing tissues are in reduced form or absent. Cuticle is either completely absent or if present it is thin and poorly developed. This helps the plant to adapt to the aquatic habitat.
