  1. Plant which grow in saline soil are
    1. Xerophytes
    2. Hydrophytes
    3. Halophytes
    4. Lithophytes
Correct Option: C

Halophytes are those plants which grow successfully in soils or water with high concentration of salts or in either at saline semi-deserts, mangrove swamps, marshes and sloughs, and seashores. Spartina alterniflora or codgress is a halophyte. Sea water typically contains 40g/l of salts. Most crops as chickpea and paddy can tolerate only 1-3g/l of salts but a halophyte, Salicornia bigelovii can grow well at 70g/l of salt conditions.
