Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • Halophytes are plants that grow in saline environments, such as mangroves, which often exhibit these features. Pneumatophores are specialized aerial roots that help in gas exchange, and vivipary is a form of reproduction where seeds germinate while still attached to the parent plant, both of which are common in halophytic plants.
