The correct option is D All the above
Wolffia is an angiosperm plant, also called duckweed. They lack roots and possess only a free-floating thallus.
Ceratophyllum, also called coontail, is an angiosperm plant that resides in marshes or ponds floating on the surface without any anchorage. They do not have a proper root system but at times of need, they develop hair like structures for attachment to the bottom.
Utricularia is an aquatic angiosperm plant also known as bladderwort. It is a carnivorous plant characterized by small hollow sacs that capture and digest insect larvae, aquatic worms and water fleas.
Therefore all of the aquatic plants mentioned lack a proper root system.
