Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The world’s most problematic aquatic weed is water hyacinth also called terror of Bengal. It was introduced into India for their lovely flowers and shape of leaves. They grow abundantly in eutrophic (nutrient rich) water bodies. Eicchornia caused havoc by their excessive growth by causing blocks in our water ways and lead to an imbalance in the ecosystem dynamics of the water body. They grow faster than our ability to remove them.
