Solution
The correct option is B Halophytes
The plants, which grow in saline habitats, are called as halophytes. There is a high concentration of salts like sodium chloride, MgSO4 etc. As the habitat is physiologically dry due to salts, the halophytes show characters similar to xerophytes.
The plants growing in a habitat with an excessive supply of water do not face the problems of water loss due to transpiration, wilting and drought. They are known as hydrophytes.
Lithophytes are the plants, that grow on stones, rocks or in their cervices.
Epiphytes are the plants, which grow harmlessly upon the other plant.
So, the correct answer is option D.
