D.

If both assertion and reason are false

Pneumatophore is an aerial root specialized for gaseous exchange. Hydrophytes are aquatic plants that are especially suited for living in aquatic environments. In order to survive, a hydrophyte, also known as an aquatic macrophyte, must either be completely submerged in water or in some cases be allowed to float on the surface of the water.
