Solution
The correct option is AEichhornia Eichhornia commonly called as water hyacinth (aquatic weed). It is very difficult to eradicate completely. It is a good substrate for biofuel. Biofuel can be produced by anaerobic digestion of water hyacinth and produced usable product methane gas, which can be used as a fuel for cooking or lighting. The residue left from the digestion process used as green manure in fields.
