Solution

The correct option is D Both B and C
The submerged leaves are often highly dissected or divided. This has the advantage of creating a very large surface area for absorption and photosynthesis. It also minimises water resistance and hence, potential damage to the leaves since moving water (currents and waves) can be damaging to the leaves of the plant.
