A) xerophyte
B) hydrophyte
C) halophyte
D) heliophyte
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The plants, which grow on dry habitat, are called xerophyte. These plants have anatomical and physiological modifications which may assist the plant to cope with environmental water deficit, eg, Argemone, Opuntia. The special type of xerophillous plant which grow on saline soil with high concentration of salts like NaCl, \[MgC{{l}_{2}}\] and \[MgS{{O}_{4}}\] are called halophytes.

The plants which grow best in full sun light are called heliophytes,
