Solution

The correct option is B Climbing shrub
  • Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is a flowering vine in the family Piperaceae, cultivated for its fruit, which is usually dried and used as a spice and seasoning.
  • The fruit, known as a peppercorn, when dried is approximately 5 millimeters (0.20 in) in diameter, dark red when fully mature and like all drupes, contains a single seed.
  • Black pepper is native to south India and is extensively cultivated there and elsewhere in tropical regions.
  • The pepper plant is a weak climbing or trailing shrub with adventitious roots, reaching a length of 30 ft. in the wild state.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
