Solution

The correct option is C Isoetes
Isoetes is a mat-forming quillwort, small, rooted aquatic emergent found in very shallow pools on granitic flat rock. Quillworts are mostly aquatic or semi-aquatic in clear ponds and slow-moving streams. Quillwort leaves are hollow and quill-like, arising from a central corm. They are heterosporous.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
