The correct answer is D. Well developed roots and supporting system.

Hydrophytes are plants adapted to grow in water or in soil that is permanently saturated with water. These plants have adapted to deal with the challenges of a constantly wet environment, such as low oxygen levels, reduced light levels, and water-logged soils. One of the key adaptations of hydrophytes is a well-developed root system, which helps to anchor the plant in place and absorb nutrients from the water or soil. These plants may also have specialized structures, such as air-filled spaces in their stems or leaves, to help them float or stay buoyant in the water.
