Solution

The correct options are
B Gloriosa
C Pea
Leaves of some plants get modified to form tendrils. These are thin, spirally coiled structures. These hold the support by coiling around it and help the weak stem to climb the support.
E.g. pea, sweet pea and Gloriosa.
So the correct option is 'Pea' and 'Gloriosa.
