    A)  Marchantia        

    B)  Riccia

    C)  Funaria           

    D)  Sphagnum

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Peat is mainly an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation or organic matter and Sphagnum accumulations can store water, since both living and dead plants can hold large quantities of  water  and   living  matter (like meat egges) for long distance transport inside their cells hence, it is responsible for peat formation.
