Yes sir crct answer isD cotton.

Cotton plants that sprouted on themoon's far side (Von Kármán Crater)aboardChina's Chang'e 4lander are dead,due to bitter cold of the lengthy lunar night,These photosynthesizing pioneers were part of Chang'e 4's biological experiment, which alsoincluded seeds of potato,rapeseed and Arabidopsis plants, as well as fruit-fly eggs and yeast.

Cotton seeds were able to handle these harsh conditions, at least initially, becoming the first plants to sprout.

ADDITIONAL INFO:

The cotton seeds are not the first plants ever to sprout off Earth. Astronauts have tended a variety of minigardens in Earth orbit, aboard Russia's Mir space ,International space station and China's Tiangong-2 space lab.
