Such plants which are adapted to survival under conditions a limited supply of water in its habitat are known as

Hydrophytes
Saprophytes
Xerophytes
Pteridophytes

The correct answer is: C. Xerophytes.

Xerophytes are plants that have adapted to survive in dry environments. They have a number of adaptations that help them to conserve water, such as thick, waxy leaves, deep roots, and a reduced rate of transpiration.

Hydrophytes are plants that live in water. They have a number of adaptations that help them to survive in this environment, such as thin, delicate leaves, aerenchyma (air-filled tissue), and a floating or submerged growth habit.

Saprophytes are plants that obtain their nutrients from dead organic matter. They have a number of adaptations that help them to break down this material, such as a lack of chlorophyll, a branched root system, and a large number of enzymes.

Pteridophytes are a group of plants that includes ferns, horsetails, and whisk ferns. They are characterized by their lack of seeds and flowers.
