Correct option (d) hydrophytes
Explanation:
In hydrophytes, vascular tissue and mechanical tissue are reduced. Cuticle is either completely absent or if present, it is thin and poorly developed. In xerophytes, cuticle is heavy and well developed. Vascular tissue and mechanical tissue are well developed and differentiated.
In mesophytes, cuticle in aerial part is moderately developed, Vascular and mechanical tissues are fairly developed and well differentiated.
