Solution

The correct option is D Hydrophyte
Often found on floating plants, many hydrophytes have air sacs that help the plant float on the surface of the water. The water chestnut is one example, which includes a beautiful cluster of green leaves with white flowers, attached to a fine root system. It is important to note that some aquatic plants will float slightly submerged in the water, such as the buttercup. Others, such as water lilies, will float up on top of the surface since their leaves distribute the weight across the surface of the water.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
