Solution

The correct option is C

Selaginella lepidophylla


Selaginella lepidophylla has an amazing ability to survive almost complete desiccation or dryness. Its stem curls into a tight ball in arid conditions and can uncurl when exposed to moisture. Because of this unique adaptation it is called as the 'Resurrection Plant'.
