The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Terms**: - The question mentions three terms: aquatic, eusporangiate, and heterosporous. - Aquatic refers to plants that live in water bodies. - Eusporangiate refers to a type of sporangium that develops from multiple cells. - Heterosporous refers to plants that produce two types of spores: male and female. 2. **Identifying the Plants**: - The plants in question are Marsilea, Salvinia, and Azolla. - These plants are indeed aquatic, as they grow in water bodies like lakes and ponds. 3. **Determining Eusporangiate Status**: - To determine if these plants are eusporangiate, we need to understand that eusporangiate plants produce spores from multiple cells. - However, Marsilea, Salvinia, and Azolla are classified as Lepidosporangiate, which means they produce spores from a single cell. 4. **Determining Heterosporous Status**: - All three plants (Marsilea, Salvinia, and Azolla) are heterosporous, meaning they produce both male and female spores within the same plant. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since Marsilea, Salvinia, and Azolla are aquatic and heterosporous but not eusporangiate, the statement in the question is false. **Final Answer**: The statement is false. ---
