Solution

The correct option is B Lathyrus aphaca
In Lathyrus aphaca, the whole leaf is modified into a tendril. Lathyrus aphaca is a legume known as the yellow pea or yellow vetchling. Tendril is a modified stem or leaf found in some plants for support, attachments and sometimes for invasion. Stem tendrils develop from axillary buds for climbing. They do not have a lamina or blade but they can photosynthesize.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
