The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement X**: - Statement X claims that Eichhornia drains oxygen from water and grows in standing water. - This is true. Eichhornia, commonly known as water hyacinth, is known to proliferate in stagnant water bodies and can deplete oxygen levels in the water, which can harm aquatic life. 2. **Understanding Statement Y**: - Statement Y claims that Eichhornia is an indigenous species of our country. - This is false. Eichhornia is not indigenous to India; it is an exotic or alien species that was introduced to the country for ornamental purposes due to its attractive flowers and leaves. 3. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, Statement X is correct while Statement Y is incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is that only Statement X is correct. ### Final Answer: - **Only Statement X is correct**. ---
