Solution

The correct option is C Leaves
In pea plants, tendrils are modifications of leaves. They provide support while growing. Axillary buds or lateral buds of stems also get modified into tendrils and help in climbing. Eg: Tendrils in Grapes, Gourds form from axillary buds and tendrils in Smilax form from stipules.
