Solution

The correct option is C

Pisum sativum


In some climbers like the pea plant (Pisum sativum), the leaves are modified into thread-like coiled structures called tendrils, which help the plants to climb.

In Nepenthes (pitcher plant), leaves are modified into pitchers.

In Opuntia, leaves are modified into spines to prevent excessive transpiration.

In Utricularia, leaves are modified to form bladders.
