Solution

The correct option is C Water lily
In water lily, the flowers emerge above the level of water and are pollinated by insects or wind. Hence, it does not require the aid of water for the purpose of pollination.

Vallisneria, Hydrilla and seagrasses are all submerged plants. Water acts as a pollinating agent for these plants.
