Solution

The correct option is C

Wolffia and Eucalyptus respectively


Wolffia is a genus of nine to 11 species which include the smallest flowering plants on Earth. Commonly called watermeal or duckweed, these aquatic plants resemble specks of cornmeal floating on the water. Wolffia species are free-floating thalli, green or yellow-green, and without roots. The flower is produced in a depression on the top surface of the plant body. It has one stamen and one pistil. Eucalyptus regnans is the third tallest tree species in the world after the Coast Redwood and Coast Douglas-fir, and the tallest angiosperm in the world. The tree is located in southern Tasmania, Australia and is 99.6 m tall.
