Solution

The correct option is B Arum

The corm is a relatively solid modified stem that has a few fleshy leaves. It stores food to survive winter, summer drought and heat. The node is the point where the leaf attaches to the stem. The presence of nodes and internodes makes the corm a modified stem. It is also called as bulbotuber. It is covered with scale leaves or tunics. A corm is found in Arum or Colocasia. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
