Solution

The correct option is D Leaflet
Tendrils are slender, spring like structures that are coiled spirally. They are sensitive to contact. When they come in contact with any support, they coil around the support like stem twiners. Most vines have tendrils, which are formed from a leaf part of the plant. The pea family have tendrils that are formed from the leaflet of the compound leaves. However, not all tendrils are modified leaves, tendrils of cucumber are modified stem.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
