Solution

The correct option is C Salvinia
Salvinia is an aquatic fern with both annual {e.g., S. nutans) and perennial species {e.g., S. molesta). The plant body consists of a floating stem bearing two rows of large green hairy leaves on the upper surface and highly branched leaf roots on the lower surface.
So the correct option is C.
