Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Plants are grouped into two groups depending upon their inability or ability to tolerate high light intensity-shade plants (Sciophytes) and sun plants (Heliophytes).
Sciophytes grow in poorly illuminated conditions as below the canopy of tall plants in search of shade.
Heliophytes grow in the open.
