Solution

The correct option is B
Ginkgo biloba

The Ginkgo biloba tree is the only surviving species of the division Ginkgophyta. It is extinct and can only be found in certain rocky terrains of China and Japan, where both its seeds and distinctive fan-shaped leaves have been used in medicine for thousands of years in the belief that it improves memory and sharpens thinking.
