A.
xerophytes
B.
halophytes
Answer
C.
mangroves
D.
mesophytes

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Plants that grow in saline water-logged habitats are called halophytes.

Xerophytes are plants that are adapted to grow in very dry environments, such as deserts.

Mangroves are a specific type of halophyte found in coastal saline or brackish water, but not all halophytes are mangroves.

Mesophytes are plants that grow in environments with a moderate amount of moisture, not too wet or too dry.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: halophytes.
