Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Plants that grow in salty soil (also known as halophytes) are being developed by agricultural experts as they can survive in areas with high soil salinity that other crops cannot tolerate. This can help increase food production in regions with limited resources and can also reduce the pressure on freshwater resources.
