Solution

The correct option is B Tendril
In yellow vetch (Lathyrus aphaca), the whole leaf is modified to become wire like coiled structures called as tendrils and the stipules become enlarged and carry out photosynthesis. In the garden pea, it is only the terminal leaflets that are modified to become tendrils.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
