d mesophytes
Dear student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query
Osmotic pressure is highest in halophytes.
Halophytes are plants that live in marshy areas. They have to absorb water from such a soil which has higher salt concentration and therefore lower water potential (higher osmotic pressure). To cope up with this situation they activate salts in their roots. As a consequence, the cells of the roots develop lower water potential (higher osmotic pressure) which brings in water by osmosis.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about the topic.
