Solution

The correct option is B

Stem


The large green bulbous part shown in the above picture is the stem of the cactus plant. It is green in colour and is involved in photosynthesis. The bulbous nature of the stem is due to storage of comparatively large amount of water. The spines are modified leaves which helps in reducing the rate of transpiration.
