Solution

The correct option is B Zamia
Zamia pygmaea is the smallest cycad and grows in open dry habitats. These vary from serpentine to limestone outcrops to almost pure sand. Zamia pygmaea, along with Z. angustifolia, is one of the most xerophytic species in the genus. They grow in dry brush covered hills, pine forests and areas of white sand.
so, the correct answer is 'Zamia'
