Answer 1

The correct option is E

B and C

Pneumatophores grow vertically upwards and are seen in Rhizophora. Rhizophora grow in marshy areas where they are rooted in swampy and anaerobic mud. Hence, pneumatophores grow to receive oxygen for respiration.

In banyan tree, adventitious roots are modified for the aerial support of the canopy. These roots are called prop roots.
