Solution

The correct option is C Cladodes
Cladode is an aerial branch modification. The branch is modified into a succulent, green, flat or cylindrical leaf-like structure. It appears in a cluster or single. It is similar to a phylloclade. The only difference is cladode mostly has one or two internodes only. Bulbils are buds that arise in the axil of the leaf. Phyllode is a petiole which is similar to leaf structurally and functionally.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
