Solution

The correct option is B Prosopis
Prosopis is one of the most economically important legumes in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. They live in areas with standing or running water, in arid areas, apparently dry, when the water table is very shallow and near the surface. These plants have very deep roots that are able to reach the water table.

So the correct option is "Prosopis".
