Solution

The correct option is D Conical of carrot
Carrot is a modified underground taproot which is conical in shape. The hypocotyl does not form a root in carrot because, during flower initiation, the hypocotyl crown shrinks as carbohydrates and water content is shifted to support flower development and the overall root diameter becomes slender.
So, the correct answer is option A.
