Solution

The correct option is D Quercus suber
Bottle cork is obtained from the bark of Quercus suber. The cork tissue obtained from this plant is thick and has good elasticity which is lacking in most plants.
Helianthus is a genus of plants which includes the sunflower plant.
Cinchona is a very well known plant whose bark is used to extract quinine which is useful in treating malaria.
Calotropis is also referred to as milkweed and its fibres are called madar. The exudates produced by this plant are poisonous.
