Solution

The correct option is C Amorphophallous
Amorphophallus tubers vary from species to species. These species develop an inflorescence consisting of an elongate or ovate spathe which usually envelops the spadix (a flower spike with a fleshy axis). The spathe can have different colors, but mostly brownish-purple or whitish-green.
On the inside, they contain ridges or warts, functioning as insect traps.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
