Solution

The correct option is D Sphagnum
Sphagnum is a genus of mosses, commonly known as peat moss. Peat is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation or organic matter that is unique to natural areas called peatlands. As sphagnum moss grows, it can slowly spread into drier conditions, forming larger peatlands.
Hence the correct option is D.
