The correct option is D Scales/eyes.
Tubers are the underground modification of stem which stores starch. It has axillary buds on its surface which helps in the growth of new plant as this buds are meristematic in nature. The buds are also known as eye or scales. The buds sprout and develop into a new plant. Potatoes need frequent irrigation. The first irrigation should be given immediately after sowing, and thereafter at one week intervals. After tuber formation, the frequency of irrigation is decreased. So, the correct answer is option D.
