Solution

The correct option is D

Hydrophytes


Hydrophytes inhabit water bodies like ponds, lakes and rivers. They have flat leaves and a thin stem which helps the plant to float. Most hydrophytes need not store water as they live in water. They have small and feathery roots. The leaves have a thin layer of wax to reduce transpiration.
