Answer: B
A plant adapted to saline conditions is a halophyte.
Halophytes, from the Greek for 'salt plant', grow in salt marshes, mangroves, salt flats and saline deserts. They cope with salt by excluding it at the roots, excreting it through salt glands, or storing it in succulent tissues, as in the mangroves of the Sundarbans and plants such as Salicornia.
Glycophytes are ordinary plants that cannot tolerate salt, hydrophytes are adapted to growing in water, and xerophytes to dry conditions.
