Answer 1

The correct option is A Ginger, Cucumber

A. Ginger, Cucumber

• Underground stems are modified plant structures for different specialized functions such as storing foods and nutrients e.g. Ginger, potato etc.
  

Stem tendrils are thin, thread like structures present in some weak stemmed plants which help them to climb through a strong support. Those are modified from axillary buds e.g. Cucumber, pea etc.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
