Solution

The correct option is A Zostera
Hydrophily includes plants which are pollinated inside the water. Zostera marina is a submerged marine perennial. The pollen is exceptionally long and needle like. Specific gravity of these pollen is almost the same as that of sea water. Consequently, they can freely float in water any depth. The stigma is also very long in this plant. If the pollen comes in contact with the stigma, it coils around water.
