The correct option is B Salix alba
Salix alba (white willow) is a species of willow native to Europe and western and central Asia. The name derives from the white tone to the undersides of the leaves. The wood is tough, strong, and light in weight, but has minimal resistance to decay. The stems from coppiced and pollarded plants are used for basket-making. Charcoal made from the wood was important for gunpowder manufacture. The bark tannin was used in the past for tanning leather. The wood is used to make cricket bats. Thus, option B is correct.
